. a detailed replica of a very specific 1965 Tone Bender MKI often referred to a the ‘System‘ MKI. Famous for its wider reaching ‘ATTACK‘ control and brighter and more aggressive tone, than your typical MKI style fuzz, the system MKI is one of the most sought after fuzz tones around.
The first half of the ‘ATTACK‘ control provides blisteringly saturated and sustaining leads… think Mick Ronson. While the second half of the dial gets increasingly more crusty and gated Velcro like texture. it’s an incredibly additive tactile experience.
This fuzz comes in the replica wedge style enclosure with the accurate fonts to match the original system MKI unit.
It’s built on a detailed replica phenolic board with the same point to point construction found in the original vintage system MKI, tuned up using tip shelf vintage NOS components including a Mullard/Philips black glass OC72 transistor and two vintage 1960’s Texas Instruments metal can transistors to ensure vintage accurate tone and feel.
The fuzz is wired up using high quality shielded cables like the ones found in vintage Tone Benders as well as full sized top shelf potentiometers and footswitch from Alpha and Carling.
Don’t sleep on this as I only have 3 available.
