Stunning hand-built Elka Dizzy Tone clone by stellar UK builder Ian Sherwen at Ghost Effects in the UK in 2016 (Serial #60 - signed and dated by Ian inside the case). Ian builds Mk1 Tone Benders for Macaris / Sola Sound which says it all! Meticulous build ono tag board with NOS germanium transistors and incredibly he has made this without the need for a master volume - you can use this at home without destroying your precious ear-hairs!! Powered by regular 9v battery or 9V centre negative jack (isolated power). Check out demos on YouTube. This pedal has it all - all flavours of fuzz available here from gated through to the most sustainfull dirty fuzz ever - these were based on the Burns Buzzaround but made with more bite / aggression!! Cleans up superbly with guitar volume too.
Only used a handful of times in a home studio environment and stored carefully so is still in mint condition.
Based on the Italian Elka Dizzy Tone fuzz, a very similar circuit to the Burns Buzzaround but with a little more aggression.

Controls are Attack (Timbre/Tone), Balance, and Sustain.

I borrowed an original Dizzy Tone from a collector to confirm all of the component values in the circuit and to verify what one actually sounds like.

The collector owns the first one I made and has compared it very favourably to a second original Dizzy Tone he owns, here are a few quotes from him....

"This pedal - which as you know has been backwards and forwards - is now as far as I'm concerned - ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - I cannot remember the last time I reacted so viscerally to a pedal..."

"As far as comparison with the old timer...It was just 100% - I wasn't expecting it to be identical - if anything it sounds even better - how the hell could that be?? The excitement I guess."
