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 gated sounds to a
full, open
sustain. 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, OC76, OC42. * Carbon composition resistors * Mullard mustard 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 * Gold hammerite finish * Pedal board friendly size box (65 x 120mm)
The
pedal comes with an instruction sheet and a 3 year warranty. Each one
is hand-signed with a serial number and packed in a white cardboard box. Shipping is through registered post/signed-for delivery with a tracking number.
Super Electric Effects pedals are hand-built by myself, Jimmy Behan in Ireland.
