The Super Electric MkI is a re-creation of the Sola Sound MkI Tone Bender fuzz from the mid 60s. It uses the stock MkI circuit, solidly built on vintage style wide pitch veroboard with 3 carefully selected germanium transistors. The Attack control provides a good wide range from very gated sounds to full sustain. This unit uses a log taper for the Attack pot which provides a more gradual change across the range of the pot. The clean up is smooth while crackle and sizzle on the notes decay is kept to a minimum. Unlike some MkIs, the pedal is very low noise in operation, and captures that classic MkI sound perfectly. Like the original, it is powered by a 9v battery only (not included) with no LED, and also features a handy battery on/off switch at the front to prevent battery drain without having to unplug the input jack. Features: * 3 selected germanium transistors -Mullard OC75 & OC42 (x2) * Carbon composition resistors * Tropical fish and Vishay capacitors * Shielded cable and very low noise operation * Wide range on the Attack control * Battery on/off switch * True bypass switching * Cliff (UK) jacks * Dark gold hammerite finish * Pedal board friendly size box (65 x 120mm)
