Bixonic Expandora EXP-2000R Used Effects

The Bixonic Expandora is no ordinary “fuzz box”, but a sophisticated distortion device that allows the user to preset different gain structures.

The Gain, Tone and Level controls combined with its internal DIP switches let you set the exact sound you’re looking for, from TS-808 Overdrive to germanium transistor Fuzz Face and every shade in between.

This reissue addresses major shortcomings in the original Expandora, including the lack of low-frequency emissions and an awkward user interface that made it difficult to access the multiple functions of the device. The Bixonic R&D team mothballed the EXP-2000 and drew up plans for its successor from scratch.

The end result includes an all-new chassis with easy-access battery compartment and true bypass switching. A front-mounted drive knob replaces the internal DIP switches and allows for on-the-fly tone tweaks. An increased low-frequency response gives the Expandora EXP-2000R unit added authority and depth.

This particular unit has some pitting in the chrome, but functions flawlessly and sounds so freaking sweet. It’ll ship safe and secure to your loving arms ridiculously fast upon purchase.
