Like the Germanium Fuzz before it, the Stonk Box attempts to take a classic
1960’s fuzz design, and bring the sound into the modern world without bringing
any along the flaws and inconsistencies of the original. In this case, we set
our eyes on the MK1 fuzz (which is itself a modified version of the very first
fuzz ever). We kept the original controls (FILTER and VOLUME), and added a
TONE control and a TRIM control to expand the palette of sounds available.
Buffer and pedal order friendly (but with no pickup simulation, we had to
tweak the output circuit this time). The original circuit is considered one of
the hardest of the classic fuzzes to get right because of the difficulty in
transistor selec- tion...with our patented technology we can do it easily and
consistently...for the first time ever!
