For sale is this vintage 1966 Sola Sound MK 1.5 Tone Bender. Produced in
extremely limited quantities during a small window in ’66 only, the
MK1.5 Tone Bender is perhaps the most mythical of effects, and has
certainly become one of the most historically significant effects pedals
ever made. The MK 1.5 was manufactured in between the MK I and the
Professional MK II. Considered the transitional model that quickly
evolved into it’s 3-transistor successor (the Professional MK II
Tone Bender), the MK1.5 Tone Bender was used as the archetype for the more
famous Arbiter Fuzz Face and later used as the basis for the VOX
Tone Bender made in Italy. This Tone Bender features the (2) Mullard OC75
transistor circuit, which has otherwise served as the foundation for
most fuzz pedals which followed. Aside from a rather shabby
re-appropriated battery terminal installation, this pedal is in very
good original condition, and miraculously still retains the original
black bottom panel.
Price reduced from $5,500 for immediate sale!!! Everything must go!!!
