The '''Woolly Mammoth''' is a fuzz effect pedal, designed & produced by the ZVex Effects, a Minneapolis-based company that specializes in producing niche guitar and bass pedals, led by Zachary Vexter. The Woolly Mammoth is also used by the likes of Trent Reznor and Ian D'Sa of Billy Talent. The pedal used to me made using green housing but is now made with silver/aluminium housing, retaining the same paintjob. The Mammoth comes in two variants; one with a germanium circuit. | |||
