TONE SEEKER MKI PRO

The TONE SEEKER, A 60’s style ripping fuzz built just like they used to...
 
The MKI Tonebender has been my favorite fuzz for a long time. After years of learning and refining the circuit I am proud to offer my own versions!
 
Available in two tuning styles, “Sola” and “System”. Both styles use the same MKI Bender circuit, the “Sola” is a more standard MKI style fuzz, using the values most commonly found in vintage units to recreate the classic 60s fuzz with a ripping attack and crunchy sustain with lots of artifacts and harmonic content. The “system” version takes this a step further by adjusting the bias so the attack control can drop the voltage much lower than “Sola”, giving you even more control over the range of tones available. The Attack control will sweep from wide open fuzz to gated and compressed with several sweet spots in between. “System” is also generally higher gain, has more artifact textures and is a bit leaner in low end thanks to a smaller output capacitor. A MKI lovers MKI!
Meticulously built using a replica of the original phenolic board following the original point to point layout, assembled the old fashioned way. NOS Germanium transistors, NOS capacitors and carbon film resistors. Custom folded steel wedge enclosure available in Gold, Purple Sparkle or Black powdercoat with custom OG style printed graphics.
Options for transistors for “Builders Choice” using more affordable and readily available transistors, or “British Upgrade” for NKT, Mullard, Brimar, Texas Instruments etc transistors. If you’re looking for something specific send me an email!
Please allow 4-6 weeks for build time on your custom made fuzz.
