Fuzz Pedals

MKI Fuzz

The MKI Fuzz is as close as possible to recreating the legendary MKI Tone Bender*.  Each part is carefully hand selected and matched to bring you the finest vintage tone.  

​

Each MKI Fuzz features:

​

3x germanium transistors - Philips OC75, Texas Instruments 2G308, Texas Instruments 2G378B

​

1960's CTS or Stackpole 500k & 50k potentiometers

​

1960's Hunts or Aerovox mouldseal input capacitors

​

1960's Hunts or Wima .1uf capacitors 

​

1960's Erie Type 109 & Type 9 / Allen-Bradley resistors 

​

Vintage style Carling footswitch

​

Replica wedge enclosure in hammered green / textured black

​

*Due to the design of this vintage fuzz  circuit, these pedals work best placed first in your signal chain.  These units do not work well with buffers or buffered bypass pedals going into the input.  This will cause the effect to sound thin with a significant volume drop*

 

**These effects can be powered by 9v battery (included) only*

​

***To preserve battery life, please unplug the input jack after use***

​

*I have no affiliation with Sola Sound or Marshall Amplification.  I am using their trademarked names only as a reference to the circuits the Supa MKII Fuzz is based on.  To see and learn more about the originators of these amazing fuzz pedals, please visit Macari's Website

​

MKI Professional

The MKI Professional is a pedalboard friendly version of my MKI Fuzz, with a few expanded features

​

These pedals are still 100% vintage & NOS parts, hardwired point-to-point on eyelet board.

 

Added features include a MKI / Zonk Machine switch, 9v dc jack, led on/off indicator & pulldown resistors to eliminate pops when switching 

​

Each MKI Pro Features:

​

3x germanium transistors 

   *OC75, 2G308, 2G378B when supplies allow

   *OC71, 2G308, 2G308

​

1960's CTS or Stackpole 500k & 50K potentiometers

 

Hunts / Sprague Input capacitors

 

NOS ERO KT1801  .1uf capacitors 

​

NOS Piher & Allen-Bradley resistors 

​

True-bypass footswitch w/ pulldown resistors

​

Replica Zonk Machine Knobs

​

*Due to the design of this vintage fuzz  circuit, these pedals work best placed first in your signal chain.  These units do not work well with buffers or buffered bypass pedals going into the input.  This will cause the effect to sound thin with a significant volume drop*

 

**These effects can be powered by 9v battery (included) or 9v native center dc power supply*

Supa MKII Fuzz

*Available again in August 2023

The Supa MKII Fuzz is my take on both the Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII* and the Marshall Supa Fuzz*.  These pedals represent my favorite combination of component choices and modifications of these two classic fuzz circuits.  

 

Each Supa MKII Fuzz features:

​

3x Black Glass or TO-1 Vintage & NOS germanium transistors

​

Vintage CTS, Centralab or Stackpole potentiometers

​

Philips or Sprague electrolytic capacitors

​

1960's Wima TFF, Philips Mustard Cap or ERO Foil capacitors

​

1960's / 70's Piher 1/2 carbon film resistors 

​

Vintage style Carling footswitch

​

Handwired on phenolic replica pcb

​

Daka-Ware control knobs

Supa MKII Professional v2

The Supa MKII Fuzz is my take on both the Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII* and the Marshall Supa Fuzz*.  These pedals represent my favorite combination of component choices and modifications of these two classic fuzz circuits.  

​

The Professional model is built to the exact specs of the original, but in a more pedalboard friendly Hammond 125b enclosure.  This model features modern updates like - True bypass switching, DC jack and led on/off indicator light.  Just like the original this pedal has an external Q3 Bias control for a wider array of tones.

 

Each Supa MKII Professional features:

​

3x Black Glass OC71  NOS germanium transistors

​

Vintage CTS, Centralab or Stackpole potentiometers

​

Philips or Sprague electrolytic capacitors

​

1960's Wima TFF, Philips Mustard Cap or ERO Foil capacitors

​

1960's / 70's Piher 1/2 carbon film resistors 

​

True Bypass Fotswitch

​

Handwired on phenolic replica pcb

​

Red LED On/Off indicator

​

***To preserve battery life, please unplug the input jack after use***

​

***These pedals need an isolated dc power supply, they can not be daisy chained off of a single 9v power source***
