EHX Tube Zipper - Frank Zappa Mode [Quick Demo]

Here's a quick demo of some classic Frank Zappa riffs through an Electro-Harmonix Tube Zipper. This dual pedal featuring an envelope filter and a distortion, nails the mid 70s guitar tones. This is by far my favorite envelope filter pedal - it sounds great clean, but I'll save that for another day. Like alot of the classic EHZ pedals, it is massive. This is the setting I call Zappa Mode. The pedal is discontinued, but there's always a few on Reverb if you're interested.

In their words, the Tube Zipper is two effects in one, a warm sounding Tube Envelope Follower and a rich tube Distortion unit. When these two effects are combined into the same circuit the outcome are entirely unique new wild effects. The Tube Zipper uses two premium 12AX7EH vacuum tubes.

This demo was made with a 1997 Fender Voodoo Strat loaded with Seymour Duncan Texas Hot Antiquities, 9-46 Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's plugged into Marshall DSL15C. Nothing special mic wise, just an iPhone 12 Pro on a tripod.
