Fuzz Pedals
Supa MKII Fuzz
*Currently unavailable
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
*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
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

**These effects can be powered by 9v battery (included) or 9v DC Jack
***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***

Ge Distorter
The Ge Distorter is a two transistor fuzz, featuring my favorite aspects of both the 1960's germanium Fuzz Face circuit and the 1960's germanium Schaller Fuzz. These two vintage fuzzes were similar in many ways, yet had very distinct tonal differences. The Ge Distorter blends them together into a unique fuzz that sounds like both and neither at the same time.
These fuzzes are extremely reactive to changes of your guitar's volume control. You can get tones ranging from crystal clean, to bright overdrive and all the way to massive fuzz sounds all from rolling back your guitar volume.
Each Ge Distorter features:
Pair of hand selected vintage germanium transistors
*1960's Siemens AC151 / AC121 - while supplies last
Vintage CTS, Stackpole or Centralab potentiometers
Philips, Siemens, or other vintage capacitors
NOS 1960's Piher, Allen-Bradley & Philips resistors
LED on/off indicator
Vintage syle replica circuit board
Marshall style replica knobs

Si Distorter
The Si Distorter is a two transistor fuzz, featuring my favorite aspects of both the 1970's silicon Fuzz Face circuit and the 1970's silicon Schaller Fuzz. These two vintage fuzzes were similar in many ways, yet had very distinct tonal differences. The Si Distorter blends them together into a unique fuzz that sounds like both and neither at the same time.
