JEXT TELEZ PEDALS
Hello from Bob Ebeling. It is now 2020. For most of 2019 we here at Jext Telez coasted on the overflowing quantity of production we cranked out in 2017 & 2018.We are still on break from that brilliant world. We are returning eventually but at the moment have no immediate plans. Having cranked out well over 1000 pedals each year during 2017 and 2018, it got to the point of not wanting to hear the word 'fuzz' or 'pedal' or 'overdrive' anymore.
We thank all who joined the Jext Comet during it's streak through the sky. We indeed have put our Nike tennis-shoes on, draped a purple sheet over our faces and gone to join that comet.

Jext Telez was founded in 2013. Jext is run by Bob Ebeling and Colin Simon. Jext offers up an inexplicable blend of dark knowledge and listening. We listen/prototype/listen/prototype/listen/prototype... etc, and when we arrive, it is good.
*Hand-made in Detroit.
*Deep institutional obsession over tone.
*Sounds so good your jaw gapes open.
*Subconsciously your soul knows what's holy.
Jext Face
First two revisions are:
2n404 Higher Gain.
2n404 Normal Gain.
We spent so much time getting this pedal right. Divorce was on the table with wives. Girl friends definitely dumped us.
WHITE PEDAL V1
1000 Made. Sold Out.
White Pedal Oxblood Edition.
15 Made. SOLD OUT
WHITE PEDAL V2 (Blood Red Knobs) 4 Transistors were switched to killer vintage type. Thicker tone, less bright.
The White Pedal delivers stripped down, raw, holographic, direct, timeless, deconstructionist.
Guitarists are consistanly calling the White Pedal one of the best pedals ever. It leaps out of mixes and is insanely flexible. The EQ serves to put guitars in an audible position, even in dense mixes.
BUZZ TONE
Around 250 made. Sold Out.
We are making the ultimate Selmer Buzz Tone pedal. It's a pedal that sounds so damn good it is a shame it's been hidden by geeky collectors in their trophy cases.

UNI-DRIVE
Around 350 made. Sold Out.
Jext Telez scored original 1970 Univox Uni-Drive pedals-- as used by Hendrix and Jimmy Page. Then remade that tone.
What to expect tonally? The Uni-Drive with the drive knob dialed down is a warm amp-like bottom with the punch of a pre-1971 Marshall 4 x 12 cab-- menacingly full with open cloudless vistas tinged by the inexplicable cellophane yellows of the era. The tone is ripe in the lower mid-range but smoothly extended up top. Dial the drive knob up and enter into gnarl-land. Go farther, endorphins are not morality, but they feel so good.

Thee supreme rangemaster. The best tonal balance and holy distortion character we've heard in an Rangemaster pedal. We can do about another 70 ontop of the 100 already sold.
DIZZY TONES
Around 950 Made.
SOLD OUT...
The Jext Telez Dizzy Tone is a recreation of the original 1966-67 Elka Dizzy Tone. Dizzy Tones have evil attitudes- roaring, spitting, screaming-- yet note definition, sustain, interaction with your hands, bliss upon your ears all lead to full possession of your soul. And it feels peaceful.
Snarling explosive anger discovered by Robert Fripp & Brian Eno in the similar Baldwin Burns Buzzaround or used extensively on Zeppelin LPs by Jimmy Page through other MKIII variations (check out Black Dog).

All of our DT knowledge put it into a pedal board friendly enclosure. Original ripping raw formula-- the version 1 like most original Elka Dizzy Tones -- with two NOS SFT352 feeding the holy NOS SFT308.

NOS trio of two COSEM SFT352 and one COSEM SFT308 transistors. Same as most original examples. It's raw-- edgy aggressive tone, spitty & mean attitude, scrapy and ruthless. LIMITED EDITION OF 80 Serial #'s 0001-0080
SOLD OUT
Version 2
Black Glass OC44
Features an NOS black glass Mullard OC44 transistor-- which is what some originals had. The OC44 delivers thick, balanced and woolly tone with more low mid-range presence and the attitude slighty reserved-- but not much. LIMITED EDITION OF 40 Serial #'s B001-B040
SOLD OUT
Version 3
Yellow Jacket OC44
Perfected fidelity via the ultra rare Mullard OC44 Yellow Jacket transistor. Smooth, classy, glassy mid-range, a prestigious touch sensitivity. Extended an half octave up and down. LIMITED EDITION OF 80 Serial #'s YJ001-YJ080
SOLD OUT
Version 4
Gold
Features a 1958 Gold Saucer Mullard OC44. Creamy, hairy Triangle & Civil Muff-like. Eternal smooth sustaining, saturated chord clarity, a real class act. Great touch sensitivity, classic distortion characteristics. LIMITED EDITION OF 75. Serial #'s G001-G075

Version 5
Triple Black
Features a trio of NOS 1960's high gain selected transistors-- rare and coveted selections topped off with a high gain Mullard black glass OC44. It's like the Version 2 but with a smooth extention another half octave into the low-end. LIMITED EDITION OF 25 Serial #'s TB001-TB025
SOLD OUT
Version 6
Green
Features NOS green dot Newmarket NKT-275 transistors. These NKT-275 driven by a pair of well measured NOS Siemens AC151V give a superb darkened tone on top-- the high end is rolled off, getting rid of the fizzy junk a lot of fuzz pedals are plagued with. The mid-range has a special wooden force of sound pressure level right where your amp loves some energy and speakers seem to grab at that unique mid-range. LIMITED EDITION OF 100. Serial #'s GD001-GD100
SOLD OUT
Version 7
Red
The high gain perfection. Easily accessible harmonics and more complex range. A high gain but high head room tone structure. The best of what the Mullard OC81Z can do-- a mid-range snarl, Rock-n-Roll fantasy. Rich and delicious smorgasbord of rock. The Mullard OC81Z are paired with two perfect low noise red Mullard GET113. The result is a gnarly, ripping, evil and unique fuzzstortion. Among the 8 these have more range available in the dials. Limited to 75. Serial Numbers R-001 to R-075
SOLD OUT
Version 8
High Gain Gold
We searched for a combo that would do it all with the deepest class. 3-D tone with a thick woolly low end. We found it in these sets of what are Version 4-- the difference being all three transistors were measured for higher hFe-- giving the pedal a flatter response and therefore a timeless pure tone. LIMITED EDITION OF 25. Serials HGG-001 to HGG-025
SOLD OUT
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER TRYING TO USE A POWER SUPPLY OR CONVERTER OF ANY KIND on any of these original LARGE CASE vintage case Dizzy Tones. They are 9 volt battery only for good reason-- modern power does not like true PNP designs.
