Zachary Vex of Z. Vex shows Sound Pure all about the Inventobox Pedal in this in-depth overview video. Get your order in with us now! He shows-off this brilliant design which allows an open-ended framework for combining his own pedals into the box, as well as completely new pedal and circuit designs, in a very user friendly way. It is the new "open-source" concept of Guitar and Bass Effect Pedal design, and for certain is the first of its kind ever to hit the street. He explains that a selling price of $399 gets you the Inventobox kit that contains a pedal with a blank circuit board, all of the wires and tools and spare parts to get going, as well as a complete set of modules that reproduce three of his famous signature ZVex tones, including the Fuzz Factory, Super Hard-On, and his take on the Marshall tone stack, with Bass, Mid, and Treble tone controls. For only $299 you get the blank kit, with the tools, wires, and spare parts, but none of the circuits. It's a brilliant and unique concept that is certain to shake things up in the pedal world. Sound Pure has pre-ordered them and will have them in stock as soon as the start shipping. We'd love to talk to you about them, and get your order in now- these are going to be VERY hot!

Zvex in this Part 2 Video demonstrates the Inventobox in a little more depth. This pedal box is the Pedal Hacker's Dream come true, with the opportunity to build-your-own guitar effects pedal circuit, this open-source platform is already a huge hit. achary Vex of Z.

What we think:
This is one of the coolest pedals we've seen in a long time! Leave to Zack to come up with something like this. It's really up to your imagination to come up with your own unique effects. Operation is very simple and the box can contain more than one effect at a time. This is brilliant!
Description:
Z-Vex Inventobox Loaded Effects Pedal
The Z.Vex Effects Inventobox is a unique new product which allows you to quickly design, build and/or modify your own pedals without soldering! The Inventobox comes with two different channels so you can build either one or two different devices into the same box. All of the necessary components are included to make it easy for you... there's a variety of potentiometer values and switches already inside the box, quickly accessible through tiny sockets which accept standard experimenter socket wires or included cables. The unit is easily opened by hand to make fast modifications to the circuitry.
The Loaded version of the Inventobox comes with a Fuzz Factory, Super Hard On, and Tone Stack module already installed.
Four Basic Components:
Design Features:
The Inventobox has several unique design features (patents pending) which make it easy to use as well as road-worthy when assembled. The brass tray provides electrostatic shielding between the bottom of the experimenter's socket and the potentiometers, eliminating cross-talk and noise issues. The removable brass tray on the upper enclosure's lid allows access to 12 removable potentiometers so you can easily set up the correct order for your pots, making the controls easy to remember. The design of the tray allows you to put a securing rubber band around the tray's edge to keep all potentiometer and LED wires in place. This makes the unit road-worthy. The security of the components and wiring is further enhanced by the use of one or more foam inserts which rest against the inside of the upper enclosure, holding vital components in place on the experimenter's socket. The lid locks in place on the two stomp switches for easy assembly when hooking up the cables to wire your circuit into the box. Just set the lid upside down on top of the stomp switches to lock it in place. Also, there are two stainless rods that hold the lid above the upper enclosure if you need to have it closer for easier wiring. Just slip the rods into the threaded screw holes in the enclosure, then hook the bent ends onto the lid.
Other design features include labels on the brass tray and potentiometers that describe connections and values, and a specially-designed circuit board that holds the pots in alignment when changing the order for your designs.
There are a number of different cables included with the Inventobox which provide a complete set of every type of wiring configuration you might need to connect your experimenter's socket to the inside of the lower enclosure. They come in two lengths, 100mm and 150mm, making it easy to reach the experimenter's socket on either the top or bottom.
Modules:
Z.Vex Effects is presently introducing 3 modules so that you can easily build up famous Z.Vex circuits into your Inventobox. The first three will be the famous Super Hard-On, the Fuzz Factory, and a fully-buffered Tone Stack module that emulates the bass/mid/treble controls on a Marshall® amplifier. These modules plug into the experimenter's socket, eliminating the need to wire up most individual components. They're labeled with the connections you'll need to make to the pots. Adding a few jumpers to the board makes it easy to wire these circuits up in standard configuration, but if you want, you can adjust the values of different capacitors and resistors (and even the transistors on the Fuzz Factory) to suit your own tastes! Instructions for modifying the tone of your circuits are included with each module.
Assembling one module into the Inventobox can be done as quickly as 5 or 10 minutes! Changing the tone of the module to suit your personal tastes can be done in a matter of seconds. Using the stainless support rods, you can leave the lid floating above the enclosure and adjust the tone by quickly changing parts until you reach your ultimate sound!
The most amazing thing about modular construction for the Inventobox is that it's open-source! Anyone can design and build their own modules for the Inventobox.
