Hello,
let me post another MK 1.5 in a different enclosure... and custom print :hihi:

And side by side with my "Impex" custom Mk1.5 :

All those MK 1.5 seem to have been made with the same batch of potentiometers "17 6"... Also, both pedals sound quite the same. no noticable sustain or gain difference and a subtle tone difference. Not much.

BTW, it seems like this "Vox" branded has been left untouched since new...the battery snaps are so clean, so is the switch. Wonder if anyone has ever opened it to power it :hmm:

If he scratches it off it will turn out to be original for sure! :hihi:

The Vox writing is obviously crude... strange painter or else made this :freak:

Anyway, that's cool to find a "new version", one in a die cast enclosure.
