zonkie pedale GREENLEAF ZONK MACHINE – Blackstrap Electrik CoMy Zonk Machine builds go by GREENLEAF, and are my flagship offering. Its no secret the Zonk is my favorite effect. A lot of recent Zonk based effects sound really trebly. They arent really supposed to sound like that. My two vintage units, and several others Ive met and or repaired, are actually quite dark. The old ones also sustain naturally, with very little gating. Due to the small input cap, Zonks do not compress as much as MKI Tone Benders.

My Zonk Machine builds go by GREENLEAF, and are my flagship offering. It’s no secret the Zonk is my favorite effect. A lot of recent Zonk-based effects sound really trebly. They aren’t really supposed to sound like that. My two vintage units, and several others I’ve met and/or repaired, are actually quite dark. The old ones also sustain naturally, with very little gating. Due to the small input cap, Zonks do not compress as much as MKI Tone Benders.

Please note: I tune a touch of gating into my Greenleaf units because it sounds great.

A Standard Series build will feature enclosure, color, parts selection, and circuit construction of my choice.

Greenleaf is available in Standard, Focus, and Old Pal construction.

*All units come in a Hammond enclosure. Wedges are available as a separate product when available.

NOTE: Orders currently take ~6-8 weeks to fulfill. Thanks for your understanding!

 

A ZONK MACHINE HISTORY

In the last few years, The Zonk Machine’s favor has surpassed even the MKI. It’s hard to imagine now, but, years ago, I started B.E.C. specifically to fill a Zonk Machine hole—a readily available Zonk didn’t exist on the market. Given the Zonk’s strange personality, its sudden ascent still surprises me—it was once considered a shrill, unpleasant rip-off of the MKI. All these early fuzz units stand on the shoulders of their forebears, and the Zonk Machine is essentially an MKI with smaller signal capacitors.

A few versions of original units exist, though none of the variations significantly affect sound (with the exception of the germanium/silicon hybrid variant, perhaps). First built on PCB boards in 1966, Zonks were later built on dark-brown Vero UK strip-board. One original unit features elegant tag-board construction. I’ve seen Iskra and Alan Bradley resistors; Mullard, Hunts, and RS caps; and Texas Instruments TIA02 and 2G309, as well as Mullard OC44 and OC71 germanium transistors.

Once thought extremely rare, a version exists with a Texas Instruments silicon 2N4061 transistor in the second position. Several of these have surfaced in the last few years (including the one I own). A trim pot replaced a 470K bias resistor; the circuit remained unchanged otherwise. This hybrid take on the circuit was probably a last-ditch effort to rein in the all-germanium versions’ susceptibility to temperature fluctuations. 

I consider The Plastic Cloud's only album the definitive Zonk Machine example. Mike Cadieux really took the time to master this fuzz, resulting in his distinctively primal performance. Face Behind the Sun is a great place to start—it's my standard riff when tuning a Greenleaf.

Greenleaf is made to order, and may take ~6-8 weeks to complete. Your patience is appreciated!

Lightweight Seersucker Suit That’s Great for Warm-Weather Events
Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
This 2-piece seersucker suit is a solid option if you need something lightweight and breathable for events like weddings, parties, or outdoor occasions. The seersucker fabric is the main highlight—it’s designed to stay cool and not cling to your body, which makes a big difference in warmer weather. The slim fit gives it a more modern look without being overly tight. It’s clean and put-together, especially for the price point. That said, depending on your build, you might need minor tailoring to get the perfect fit. The material is mostly polyester with a bit of stretch, so it’s comfortable and allows some movement. It doesn’t have the same feel as higher-end suits, but it still looks good for casual to semi-formal settings like a summer wedding or something like the Kentucky Derby. Overall, this is a budget-friendly suit that does what it’s supposed to. It’s lightweight, stylish enough for most occasions, and easy to wear—especially if you’re trying to stay cool without spending a lot.

See through and jacket has no structure
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: Large, Color: Light Grey
On the positive side, it does appear to be well made. The stitching is clean, the fit is decent, and overall construction seems solid for the price. However, the material is extremely thin much thinner than expected. It’s so lightweight that it is see-through. Both the jacket and pants are unlined, which makes the suit feel even lighter and less structured. I While I understand seersucker is meant to be breathable and comfortable this isnt even seersucker it is a striped polyester blend material. It may work in very hot climates but if you’re looking for something with more structure or durability, this is not the best option. The fabric feels about as thick as a paper towel. Overall, decent construction, but the thinness and lack of a defined shape and lining are disappointing and makes it almost impossible to wear.

Surprisingly good product.
Size: 5X-Large, Color: Grey Black
Came exactly as suspected. When ordering a 3 piece tux I expected to find some sort of problem or something that didn't fit, but I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like the photos and fits as advertised. So very happy. Doesn't look cheap or gimmicky. Thank you!

Good quality stank fishy smell
Size: Small, Color: Silver
Beautiful but it stank badly smells like fish. Wherever y'all have it stored in when y'all have it needs to be cleaned out. Now I have to take it to get cleaned/steamed because of this stank smell. Need give me some of my money back much as it cost. Now I got to pay get smell out of it is ridiculous. Cost to much for this to smell how it smells.
