VINTAGE FUZZ TONE

The Maestro FZ-1 started the Great British Fuzz Pedal Boom by inspiring Gary Hurst to modify Vic Flick’s (the James Bond Riff guitarist) personal pedal into the Tone Bender, which was later taken by John Hornby Skewes and further tweaked into the Zonk Machine: the third-times-a-charmer of the era. Known for its spitting / slightly gated sound, the Zonk is brighter than a Tone Bender mki but has more sustain and bite than the FZ-1 making it well suited for cutting through a dark mix. So what does a pedal builder do with a sound that’s already pretty much perfect? Well, not much, but adding a bit of flexibility and functionality is always a good idea, so we did that.

Basically, the Skronk Machine is a modernized version of the Zonk.

We updated the footswitch to a no-click relay bypass system that is either momentary or latching, depending on whether you tap or hold it down. It also remembers the last state (on/off position) before powering down which can be helpful for people with large effect racks. The NOS germanium transistors we chose are NPN rather than PNP to make powering and daisy chaining power supplies a bit more convenient.  Each set of tested transistors are specifically biased for each build and tested through two voltage check points on the PCB to help ensure the sound stays consistent. The standard circuit can be a bit bright through certain setups, so we added a finely tuned passive tone control that cuts some of the high frequency harshness without losing much volume. Dialed to the far right the filter has no effect and offers the stock Zonk voicing while counter clockwise will cut highs and get you into Tone Bender mki territory. Both extremes of the dial sound totally usable. We also slimmed down the enclosure to the industry standard and hooked up top mounted jacks to make it more pedalboard friendly, but that’s it, so the heart of the Skronk remains true! The upgrades just help keep the blood pumping more efficiently.

    My dog loves it!
    Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
    This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.

    Our first babies favorite and longest lasting ball yet and he is fixing to be 7.

    Toughest ball we have found yet. Our doberman loves Chuckit! Balls especially the crunch one. He spreads all the balls and toys we have bought but these lasted the longest. The crunch and the glow in the dark are usually his pick but he has several different choices.

    Fantastic tool for dog owners!
    Size: 1-pack
    This is a great tool to keep your dog active without getting your hands messy! I discovered it launches better when you don't push the ball completely into the holder, but just have it in partially. The ball included is nice and bouncy. The launcher also works with Kong balls.

    Endless Fetch Fun—Perfect for My Jack Russell!
    Size: 1-pack
    This ball launcher has been a total game-changer for fetch time with my Jack Russell! She has tons of energy, and this helps me keep up without wearing out my arm. It works great with most standard tennis balls, so I don’t have to worry about tracking down special ones.

    It is good for small yards but not so good for distance.
    Size: 1-pack
    Getting used to a ball thrower takes practice. This one is no exception. The angle is off for me. If I use it as an extension of my arm it goes straight to the ground, but once I got the hang of it. Balls launch with great height. Distance isn't a feature for this tool.
