Re: Original MkI Tone Bender
Simply Beautiful - what are the transistors please? The board layout in mine (ex Davids) is noticeably different - Does it have a pronounced sweet spot or does it have a reasonably wide area of useful tonality?
Do you have any idea of how many Mk1's came out before they had the screen printed lettering and the addition of Sola Sounds to the wording?
I think the one Leon now owns is the same "dry lettered" earlier pre Sola type as this one (albeit with a bit less of the lettering left!) so that would be 2!

Re: Original MkI Tone Bender
Here are some photos of my MKI.
The enclosure has/had the dry lettering like Stu's but with circuitry more like Grahams MKI

Re: Original MkI Tone Bender
Here is a pic of mine!
Second style of lettering and board.
Will post gut shots tomorrow.
From what I have gathered these four plus the one that Gary Hurst still have are the only ones that have surfaced so far, have heard rumours of one more in the USA but have not seen photographic evidence of it.
But there must be more, I bet that there are at least 2-3 more that are still out there to discover!
Interesting to see that your one does not have a battery door Stu, maybe that is why they moved the board to above the pots to be able to fit that.
Absolutely the earliest one of the four.
