Always wondered what the pepbox sounded like.

Yah mean, this was advertised as possibly being John Lennons?

Sounds cool! This is from 1965?

the fuzz pot is dated 11-4. I would have guessed it's from 1965, but who knows...

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing, Jim!

Just seems weird that it would predate MKI's. Pep Fuzz's are mentioned in Beat Instrumentals, I haven't looked at those for awhile, but I'm pretty sure it's after the big MKI Tone Bender announcment in September 1965.

Great job Jimmy Jerms, I can't tell the difference between the two.
And it's a cool sounding circuit. Nice texture happening there.

That pot could have sat on a shelf at RS for months before being sold, no?

That sure is possible. With the pot codes we can only be sure that it hasn't been made before 11-4.
Both pedals are based on the earlier Maestro FZ-1, so anything is possible.
