Ankh Machine (Zonk)

from $300.00

The Ankh Machine is a recreation of the John Hornby Skewes Zonk Machine from 1965. The Zonk machine shares some similarities with the MKI but is a bit darker and slightly less gated than its Tone Bender cousin. It’s a tremendously nasty and nasally beast ready to send you straight into a 60s garage. Go check out The Plastic Cloud’s self titled record from 1968 and you’ll get the vibe.

** These are made to order. Will ship within 2-4 weeks.

** This pedal uses vintage style PNP germanium transistors which are powered by negative voltage, thus the power supply must be an isolated source, such as a 9v battery or 9v power adapter from an isolated source. The power supply cannot be daisy chained with other pedals.

** I tune all my pedals with integrity to be as close to the originals as possible. I don’t add any modern tweaks or “improvements” to the circuit.

What’s Inside:

  • Built onto authentic Vero board utilizing the exact component layout of the original units. 

  • Vintage new old stock and/or salvaged capacitors intentionally selected for quality and tone

  • Vintage new old stock and/or salvaged resistors hand selected for performance and aesthetic quality from a mix of vintage Allen-Bradley, Piher, Iskra, and others. 

  • 3 carefully matched vintage germanium transistors. Transistors are hand selected by me through a rigorous tuning process. Transistors are chosen based on how they perform in the circuit. I tune all my pedals with integrity to be as close to the originals as possible. I don’t add any modern tweaks to the circuit. 

  • The signal path is wired using high end UK shielded cable like the original units. 

  • High quality hardware including full size alpha pots, Cliff UK style jacks, stainless steel battery holster, and a carling footswitch. 

  • On/Off switch attached to the volume control like the originals 

  • Housed in a hand painted Hammond 1590P1 diecast aluminum enclosure (6x3.3.x2). Color may vary. 

  • Circle Electric Co. name plate 

  • Bakelite knobs.
