The Monsterpiece MK 1.5 Fuzz is my take on the classic sola tonebender MK1.5 circuit. This is a 2 transistor Germanium fuzz in which I use various new old stock Germanium transistors that are hand selected for proper gain & leakage for best sound in each pedal.
The only modifications I have made to the original design are 1 resistor value to allow for greater volume output (you will not need to dime the volume control to obtain unity volume with the bypass signal), and an added external transistor bias control that allows you to fine tune the overall fuzz voice to what you hear in your head.
This circuit is very similar to the fuzz face circuit (it actually pre-dates the fuzz face by a few months) and is known for it’s exceptional dynamic response to both your picking & guitar volume knob. The Monsterpiece MK 1.5 is no exception.

The Monsterpiece Mk 1.5 in this demo is an older 2 knob version with internal bias trimpot…
Listen with headphones!
Controls:
Volume, Fuzz, and Transistor Bias. There is no “incorrect” setting for the bias control – only what does or does not sound good to YOU, the user.
The Monsterpiece MK 1.5 can be powered with 9 volt battery or 9 to 9.6 volt center negative barrel plug dc adapter (no daisy chain powering).
