FOGBOW MKI TONE BENDER

FOGBOW (formerly called Red Sam) is my take on the Tone Bender MKI. There are limitless ways to tune this circuit for different results. I favor moderate gating and compression; thick saturation; and copious crackle, sputter, and swirl in the decay. These qualities make this circuit unique. Tuning in dubious improvements (like smooth sustain and minimal gating) spoils the special personality of this effect. For the cognoscenti among us, I offer some of the obscure variations found in the old ones, but, if you’re not aware of these quirks, don’t worry about them. A Standard Series build will feature enclosure, color, parts selection, and circuit construction of my choice. The Fogbow 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!   AN MKI HISTORY In 1965 an Englishman named Gary Hurst dev
