FUZZ- THE BRITISH PEDAL COMPANY The Zonk Machine ...a wannabe ???

WARNING:
Back in 2014 this company were dealing with cease and desist letters from lawyers of several of the 
British Pedal Company's products. Buyers found out that the company were selling these to us when 
they did not have rights to the names and that the circuits and parts were not to spec to the originals. 
Andertons stop selling them yet even know they are still on the dealers list. In short buyers beware!!  
$440.00 USD
THE  
   ZONK  MACHINE
This pedal was Hornby Skewes take on a Tone Bender v.1. It was modified enough to be its own thing. Not many were made. However because the company had many other music products that were available in many countries. If nothing else they had no competition. The only other pedal that was available for you to buy in many countries, was the original Maestro Fuzz Tone. 
            CONCLUSION ___
This a clone in the original box's enclosure. It does NOT 
use NOS transistor or it would be a very important point 
written into their sites listing of features. 
The price is obscene!!!

One of the best Zonk clones is the BLAMMO 
and it covers the 3 versions of the originals. 
$170.00 USD
