JDM Pedals Elektrika LTD Fuzz | Vintage OC42 Mullard Germanium Transistors | Tonebender Mk1

These pedals are now assembled in Alfred, Maine, USA! Production time is approx 1 week from order to shipment.

Picking up after our successful OC75 version ended, and the OC44 supplies are nearly gone... we are now offering a stellar sounding Elektrika made with vintage Mullard OC42 and OC41 transistors. These are the coveted long can, "Red Dot" transistors - See our feedback! This version of the Elektrika is absolutely stunning - the dynamics are incredible, and this MK1 actually cleans up beautifully with the guitar's volume.

These transistors are glass in a metal can, with the Mullard "Red Dot" on top, and not only do the look the part, they sound simply gorgeous. From lower gain fuzz tones to searing sustain, they have an excellent range, a lovely "oomph" in the low end without being muddy or thick, and a satisfying treble fuzz blast that can cut without sounding harsh. Our added "Gate" and "Tone" controls as well as the "Fat/Tight" switch give this pedal all the vintage tone you have ever dreamed of with the added flexibility to tune in any MK1 Fuzz tone you desire.

Specs:

- Vintage Mullard OC42 and OC41 "Red Dot" transistors

- Enclosure Size 125B, Gold Hammerite Finish, Silk Screened Graphics

- Powered by 9v "Block" battery, or +9vDC power jack. We have built in an analog 9v power inverter, so you may power this with a standard negative ground power supply! (aka "Boss Style" adapter). This means the pedal integrates seamlessly with modern pedalboards.

- All the trimmings: Hand wired, Top Jacks and input/output wired with solid-core cloth-covered wire, "Fat/Tight" switch for MK1/Zonk Machine tones, and our custom Gate and Tone controls to dial in the perfect fuzz texture :0)

Thanks for checking it out!

Upcoming offerings will include pedals using very hard to find vintage transistors that make the originals extremely sought after. Each one will be handmade with lots of Love! Stay tuned.

* If you're familiar with our "standard" Elektrika, you may wonder, "Why the price bump?" It comes down to the transistors. Vintage "Black Glass" Valvo and Mullard transistors are extremely hard to find, and prices are skyrocketing as supplies disappear. We're lucky to have a few hundred of each, but even these won't last long, as it takes about a dozen transistors to find the right values for one pedal! Our supply of transistors for our regular production "Elektrika" is still pretty healthy, but you may want to consider picking one of those up, too ;0)
