Cunningham Amps MK 1.6 RCA Germanium Fuzz Pedal in Stealth

The best fuzz pedals on the planet All the various fuzz models by Cunningham Amps are brilliant and so musical. Take your pick, you can't go wrong. They all adapt to your playing style. Your playing attack provides so much tonal character and allows you to create your sound. This is the Klon of fuzz pedals. This listing of the MK1.6 Fuzz is the Germanium version featuring a select pair of NOS RCA Germanium transistors. These provide classic germanium fuzz tones with a totally gorgeous clean-up. There's a huge range of tones available at your fingertips from sparkling cleans, through tube-like overdrive to fully saturated in your face fuzz. If you were only after one fuzz pedal, the MK1.6 Fuzz is the one to go for. The MK 1.6 Fuzz is a hand-crafted pedal based on classic fuzz circuits of the mid-60s. The closest ancestors are the fabled 'MK 1.5' Tone Bender and Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. This model includes a few added touches to enhance playability in the modern world. The circuit is built upon a precision etched board with the highest quality components and an obsessive attention to detail. This version comes standard with a DC input jack (9v, tip negative) and LED indicator - there is also an internal 9v battery (included). Please note for DC power operation this germanium version must only be used with a fully isolated power supply, no daisy chains. Most modern multi-outlet supplies meet this requirement. Please enquire if not sure whether your power supply will work with this pedal. Each pedal is built by hand, one at a time, and individually voiced to optimise its specially selected pair of transistors. This means no two pedals are exactly the same - they all have unique attributes and components are chosen to enhance the sonic qualities of each circuit. The controls are simple but highly effective - 'Attack' dials up the fuzz and 'Level' sets the overall output of the effect, which ranges from soft to sonic destruction. The MK 1.6 is designed to provide a high level of output when desired and is capable of a significant volume boost - this fuzz will not disappear in the mix when engaged. Raising the level also hits the input of your amp harder and interacts with preamp stages to produce beautiful overtones and a wide range of overdrive and distortion tones through to raging fuzz. The pedal provides a vast tonal palette to play with and subtle changes in pick attack and tweaks to your guitar's volume and tone controls offer up unlimited avenues for expression. The Gain Mode switch provides three separate gain settings for the pedal. Low is a boost setting with Med and High progressively adding more gain and fuzz. Lower gain is also a tad brighter, high is fat and juicy. Each setting imparts its own special character and greatly adds to the versatility of the pedal in response to different musical situations, guitars, amps etc. Wherever you set it, be prepared for scintillating boosted fuzz tones!
