Connections

Input Jack - 1/4" Mono input.
Out A, Out B jacks -1/4" Dual Mono outputs.

9 VAC - Paradox TZF uses a power supply that puts out 9
VAC, 1,000 uA. via 2.5mm plug. Since it is AC, there is no po-
larity.
RATE LED - Blinks to show the speed of the LFO. When
SPEED is selected by Ramp source, switch LED is RED.
When MAN is selected LED is GREEN.
Important application tip:
For best results, run overdrive/distortion/fuzz effects BEFORE Paradox TZF. That
is, between your guitar and the flanger. After that, run Paradox TZF into a CLEAN
amp.
A dirty signal at the input will give TZF 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 TZF and 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 TZF 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.
PARADOX TZF
Custom Batch NOS 2019
Paradox TZF Custom Batch NOS 2019 is a run of 26 units built
up from parts kept in storage since the original TZF was dis-
continued. This special batch of flangers includes additional
features that were part of Paradox TZF2, which was the follow-
up to the original TZF.
Paradox TZF is an analog through-zero-flanger geared to-
wards live performance. Organic time-based modulation with
interactive sweep control and warm analog processing pro-
duce flanging sounds that you've heard in recordings and in
nature, but have never been able to recreate.
