THE TARKINE DELUXE
VOX TONEBENDER CLONE
​
​
​
​
​
The Tarkine Deluxe is our premium VOX Tonebender clone. The Tarkine is one of the worlds last prehistoric rain forests. It's teaming with fauna and flora that is not seen anywhere else on this planet. The Tarkine is largest temperate rain forest in Australia and second largest in the world. The 477,000 hectares of uninterrupted wilderness include myrtle, leatherwood and pine trees that are living links to Gondwanaland. It's wild, it's untamed, it's raw and it's unique which we think is the perfect namesake for this fuzz.
Van Diemens' Tarkine Deluxe is a fuzz based on the classic 2 transistor VOX Tonebender. Brighter than it's MK1.5 bother and Fuzz Face cousin, this version of the Tonebender uses a lower resistance volume pot and it's coupling caps are much smaller values than whats standard. All this adds up to a sharper, brighter fuzz that will really cut through the mix. These pedals come in a large format enclosure from the wonderful folk at Fuzzcases in the UK. The components are all hand picked for optimum quality and condition and are fitted to 60's paxolin eyelet board (when available) assembled in house. We use a hand pick selection of classic vintage ASY transistors from Brimar, Siemens and Telefunken. Wima, Erie, Philips, Mullard Tropical Fish, Mullard Mustard, Ducon and other high end vintage capacitors and vintage Piher and/ or Allen Bradley resistors. The mechanicals are modern, but are the highest quality available today including Carling footwitches, Neutrik jacks and Tocos RV24 or Precision Series K potentiometers.
​
​This pedal is finished in hammered Green, depicting the beautiful rain forests it was named after.
