The Knoz Machine: "Hands-Up" if you love Zonks!

The Knoz Machine is a meticulously crafted tribute to the legendary Zonk Machine, the pedal that is now synonymous with Doyle Bramhall II's iconic Rich Man era.

I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with the original unit from Electro-Vox Studios that was used on the Rich Man album and dissect every aspect of it and as a result, I am pleased to be able to offer my own sonic interpretation of that exact unit. Tuned to capture all the sonics of the original, the Knoz Machine delivers a raw, aggressive tone that demands to be heard.

Note: Each individual Knoz Machine takes significant effort to sort through transistors and tune to spec. As such, it cannot be offered in typical batch format. These will be made one-at-a-time and listed for sale as they become available.

Each pedal, while tuned sonically to the original, may sport a variety of different transistor combinations inside. 

Key Features:

• Authentic Zonk Tone: Meticulously tuned to capture the unique character of the original, quirks and all.
• Raw and Unpredictable: A pedal that is an instrument unto itself. It requires player interaction for maximum tonal expression.
• Versatile Control: Swell and Fuzz controls offer a wide range of tonal possibilities.
• Tonal Variety: An internal Fat/Tight dip switch lets you dial in the right bass response for your rig.
• Premium Components: High-quality components and NOS transistors for exceptional tone and durability.
• Road-Ready Design: Compact, durable, and powered by standard 9V DC power.

A word about transistors – the heart of this circuit. Each transistor type imparts its unique character to the sound and feel of the fuzz. Refer to the Transistor Info FAQ in the top menu for details on different types of transistors. Prices may vary based on rarity, with new options as they are available.
