Using the original MK1 three transistor Zonk circuit, I've added a couple of extra components and have been able to achieve the elusive MK1 tone but WITH SILICON TRANSISTORS. Using a matched set of super rare vintage 'New Old Stock' Mullard/Philips BC108C
Not to be confused with the MK2 Zonk circuit that was originally made with 2 silicon transistors, (I make those too, called the ZO: )
This pedal achieves that elusive cutting MK1 tone at any ambient temperature (Germanium units are notorious for sounding farty if they are too hot) Added to that I've worked out a set of controls that gives you a much wider palette of musical tones to work with.
