Foxrox Electronics Paradox TZF2 Owner's Manual

Paradox TZF2 is an analog through-zero-flanger geared towards
live performance. Organic time-based modulation with interactive
sweep control and warm analog processing produce flanging
sounds that you've heard in recordings and in nature but have
never been able to recreate.
Paradox TZF2 is an updated version of the original Foxrox Paradox
TZF, which was in production between 2002 and 2006. The original
Paradox TZF was the very first flanger pedal capable of achieving a
through-zero sweep. Since its inception, it has been considered by
many to be the finest flanger ever created. Paradox TZF2 is a
smaller, slimmed down version of the original Paradox TZF design.
Some features were taken away and replaced with features geared
towards live performance. These include Envelope control and
Ramping for speed and flange point, along with a wide range LFO.
Both Positive and Negative mixing is available for creating the
through-zero sweep in all its glory.
Like the original version, Paradox TZF2 requires a bit of a learning
curve. Take your time learning how to use it, be patient, and enjoy
every moment. The effort is worth it!
Important application tip:
For best results, run overdrive/distortion/fuzz effects BEFORE Paradox
TZF2. That is, between your guitar and the flanger. After that, run Paradox
TZF2 into a CLEAN amp.
A dirty signal at the input will give TZF2 a richer frequency range to deal
with, creating the most pronounced effect. And a clean amp will reproduce
the effect most accurately. Doing it the other way around, clean guitar
into TZF2 an then into dirt pedals or a distorted amp, will mask the effect
to the point where it is almost inaudible.
If the normal tone of your amp is always distorted, then try hooking TZF2
up in the effects loop. If there is no effects loop, then you will have to try
a different amp if you want the most intense TZF sounds.
