The TONE SEEKER, 60’s style ripping MKI Bender fuzz, built 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!
This is the “Sola” tuned model, it is a more standard MKI style fuzz, using the values most commonly found in vintage units to recreate the classic 60s fuzz with a squeaky, chirping attack and crunchy sustain with lots of artifacts and harmonic content. A MKI lovers MKI.
Equipped with the usual volume and attack controls, volume being your output and attack being your bias setting, adjusting the compression and sustain. The original point to point layout is followed closely in the build process. Full NOS capacitors and Germanium transistors (NKT/Mullard/Brimar/TexasInstruments OC, 2G and AC types) are used, specific components are subject to availability, though I am able to make a ripping MKI with a variety of caps and transistors.
Classic Gold top/Black bottom two-tone powdercoat finish with silkscreened print in custom folded steel enclosure. Battery only operation, like it used to be back in the day. Mike nailed these fuzz boxes.
