zonkie pedale GREENLEAF ZONK MACHINE – Blackstrap Electrik CoMy Zonk Machine builds go by GREENLEAF, and are my flagship offering. Its no secret the Zonk is my favorite effect. A lot of recent Zonk based effects sound really trebly. They arent really supposed to sound like that. My two vintage units, and several others Ive met and or repaired, are actually quite dark. The old ones also sustain naturally, with very little gating. Due to the small input cap, Zonks do not compress as much as MKI Tone Benders.

My Zonk Machine builds go by GREENLEAF, and are my flagship offering. It’s no secret the Zonk is my favorite effect. A lot of recent Zonk-based effects sound really trebly. They aren’t really supposed to sound like that. My two vintage units, and several others I’ve met and/or repaired, are actually quite dark. The old ones also sustain naturally, with very little gating. Due to the small input cap, Zonks do not compress as much as MKI Tone Benders.

Please note: I tune a touch of gating into my Greenleaf units because it sounds great.

A Standard Series build will feature enclosure, color, parts selection, and circuit construction of my choice.

Greenleaf 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!

 

A ZONK MACHINE HISTORY

In the last few years, The Zonk Machine’s favor has surpassed even the MKI. It’s hard to imagine now, but, years ago, I started B.E.C. specifically to fill a Zonk Machine hole—a readily available Zonk didn’t exist on the market. Given the Zonk’s strange personality, its sudden ascent still surprises me—it was once considered a shrill, unpleasant rip-off of the MKI. All these early fuzz units stand on the shoulders of their forebears, and the Zonk Machine is essentially an MKI with smaller signal capacitors.

A few versions of original units exist, though none of the variations significantly affect sound (with the exception of the germanium/silicon hybrid variant, perhaps). First built on PCB boards in 1966, Zonks were later built on dark-brown Vero UK strip-board. One original unit features elegant tag-board construction. I’ve seen Iskra and Alan Bradley resistors; Mullard, Hunts, and RS caps; and Texas Instruments TIA02 and 2G309, as well as Mullard OC44 and OC71 germanium transistors.

Once thought extremely rare, a version exists with a Texas Instruments silicon 2N4061 transistor in the second position. Several of these have surfaced in the last few years (including the one I own). A trim pot replaced a 470K bias resistor; the circuit remained unchanged otherwise. This hybrid take on the circuit was probably a last-ditch effort to rein in the all-germanium versions’ susceptibility to temperature fluctuations. 

I consider The Plastic Cloud's only album the definitive Zonk Machine example. Mike Cadieux really took the time to master this fuzz, resulting in his distinctively primal performance. Face Behind the Sun is a great place to start—it's my standard riff when tuning a Greenleaf.

Greenleaf is made to order, and may take ~6-8 weeks to complete. Your patience is appreciated!

History at its best
This comprehensive history of early Virginia persuasively argues that slavery and racism contributed to the American notions of freedom and democracy for those not enslaved. Although first published in 1975, one would never guess that just from reading it. Morgan's argument emerges from such a careful reading and analysis of primary sources that it remains as important today as it was a quarter century ago. The book also provides valuable insights into many subjects other than slavery, including economic and political relations between Virginia and England, early interactions with Native Americans, and changing colonial and British notions of labor and class. Highly recommended on any of these issues.

Fasten your seat belt!
Format: Paperback
The eye-opening journey this non-fiction book offers is not fun, if you are any kind of human being at all. The historical detail and background information is great. The organization makes it easy to understand the complex and entangled events that were happening then and which molded colonial Virginian society, which in turn we inherited. Highest quality scholarship. Dreadful and stomach-turning subject matter. I wish I read this years ago.

Like you have a choice
Format: Hardcover
If you’re buying this, there’s a good choice it’s an assigned text and you have zero choice in the matter. I can say, this one is nowhere near as well written as the Aspen Torts and Civ Pro books. I often read passages in this book and shake my head because it’s so confusing. Property is tough, this book makes it worse.
