The Zonk Machine and the Zonk II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Amos is named, like all our pedals, after something ironically Tasmanian. In this instance, it is Mt Amos, the highest peak in the stunning Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's East Coast. Often referred to as \"The Jewel of Tasmania, Wineglass Bay, the Freycinet National Park and Mt Amos is a wonder to behold and it was the crystalline, blue and aqua waters of Wineglass bay that led me to this build. This is a stunning, complex and beautiful place. And that is the sound I think I achieved with the Amos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fuzz is simply put, amazing. It has string separation and great clarity between strings and the ability to go from open, sustaining glorious fuzz tones to a spitty, quick to die shattered breakup. This is achieved through the gate control which, just as it sounds, opens the fuzz up to a full wide open beast, or closes it down to a chaotic, broken animal. The guitars volume control can further add to this chaos, simply by winding it back a little. Its so much fun, and there are so many tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHoused also in the Hammond 1590P1, and finished in a heavy aged, Ocean Blue hammertone, this fuzz is a beast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside and mounted to the hand cut and drilled 60s phenolic board are some killer transistors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Q1 is a Mullard Philips AC107, and in Q2, a Texas Instruments 2G309.

When tuning our pedals, we set standard transistor voltages at the beginning, but then finalize the setup tuning by ear, looking for the perfect sweet spot and finalize the bias once that point has been reached. We use classic pull back cloth wire and each board is hand crafted using either turrets, eyelets or through hole construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIMPORTANT: This pedal uses PNP transistors and the External power is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNegative (-) Center\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e power this pedal using a daisy chain.
