THE TARKINE DELUXE
VOX V828 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 board (when available) assembled in house. We use a hand picked selection of classic vintage transistors from SFT, STC and Mullard including SFT308, ASY60, CV7448 and OC76.
We also use 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.
These pedals will be finished in charcoal hammer paint, just like the originals. It is also available in Hammered grey Powdercoat. Be aware that the traditional hammer paint can take quite a while to cure depending on the weather and time of year. Please contact to discuss prior to ordering. NOTE: Warranty regarding Hammered paint is covered in the Terms and Conditions. Please read prior to ordering.
