FUZZ_ CUNNINGHAM Zonk/Mk1 Fuzz... Two classic Fuzz choices in one box


Cunningham  Zonk/MK1 Fuzz
$500.00 USD
Quite simply the first version of the Horby Skewes Zonk machine which started with Tone Bender Mk1 topography and got creative enough to give it a distinct vibe. The first one used  germanium transistors just when everyone was heading to the first Muff that used a new thing. Silicon transistors. 
The second version switched and was very successful but the pedals were dropped when changes in management etc. saw better profits in other product they sold.
The Cunningham is a clone of the first using all NOS parts. 
The layout is Volume, Gain with a toggle to switch from a Zonk voice or a Tone bender Mk1 Fuzz that it was modified from. 
A second switches the between 2 voicings.  
      ....<>^
CONCLUSION___ It sounds killer but it is a pedal that has 
bugs that make it totally undependable. It will certainly have
days it sounds like crap or totally fails to work for minutes,
hours or even until the next day.
