Up for sale, a 2019 Sola Sound Professional MKII Tone Bender in mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original box and paperwork. This exacting recreation of the original MKII Tone Bender, offered exclusively by Macari’s in the UK, is an exceptionally well-crafted pedal, faithful in every way to the 1965 original.
The circuit, crafted by master pedal builder David Main of D*A*M Stompboxes in South Yorkshire, features three OC75 Germanium transistors, hand-wired on perfboard, with Cliff jacks, powered by a 9V battery. To dial in the perfect, vintage-accurate sound, thousands of transistors are tested, with only 20% ever making it into the circuits. The graphics are also hyper-accurate, recreated down to the millimeter and painstakingly painted. The interior of the serialized baseplate retains David Main’s signature.
Widely considered one of the most important stompboxes of all time, the original Gary Hurst-designed MKII Tone Bender is most famously associated with Jimmy Page, who received one just prior to the recording of Led Zeppelin 1. It’s an immediately recognizable fuzz tone, with ample aggressive bite and headroom, ranging from thin buzzsaw sizzle to churning, bass-rich destruction with a turn of the Attack knob.
The original box is included, along with the bill of sale and factory paperwork signed by Anthony and Steve Macari.
