... Last year was rough for me...

Yeah, case looks like a Supa Bender hybrid! Super sleek. Olivetti... Italian design genius?

Hey Joe...Does this sound like a 1.5?!

Ok, shitty prediction: JMI soon comes out with a Zonk II in this exact looking case, blue hammerite. complete with half assery circuit building.

bad dream? nightmare... :-P :banger:
No, it didn't!! It sounded more like a MKII, smooth and super sweet sounding.
Really nice pedal and i was fortunate to have it for a while but it cost a lot and I had to let it go.......it's missed :patch:

oh man, the one that got away!!
Weird, MkII esque? With only 2 OC75's or was there one hidden i missed?

That case is stunning. The top flat/rounded part is just so sexy. Reminds me of nothing else...
except maybe a 1932 Ford Coupe! It really looks like a hot rod. and...from what i learned last
weekend at a foundry, it's tough to make stuff with vertical sides like that. (inside and out)...
Something about the retrieving process once cast, i think...

wow, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. I hope someone traced the circuit & parts.

:cheers:

Btw: Did you ever check the pots before selling?
If you struggle baby,
It only tightens up...

no, didn't check pots :doh:
But it was supposed to go to Dave sometime for a study. Hopefully that will still happen.
I did have good pic's of the insides and there was certainly only 2 transistors.

That is one sweet little fuzz! :badlove:

The enclosure is awesome - can't believe it wasn't more widely used. I would have a Supa Mk I in a box like that! :freakout:

It's looks like MKI.5 circuit with added 680K resistor between Q1 base and collector and 25uF filtering cap. :hmm:
