ZVex is a boutique effects company from Minnesota, USA. Their flagship pedal is the Fuzz Factory. Bellamy bought this hand-made fuzz pedal in Japan. The Fuzz Factory is the screeching effect that you hear every now and then. It also provides Bellamy's distortion for the most part. It has five controls from left to right: volume, gate, compression, drive and stability. His Mansons have these effects built in to them but instead of having all five knobs on the front of his guitar he just has stability and compression - these are the two knobs to adjust to get all of the screeching sounds. The remaining knobs are on the back of his guitars, usually set at the same position throughout their gigs.
