No, if you approach it that way it sounds too tight. You don't get the bee sting tone of the original. This pedal should sound like what you here on The Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" (the MKI was a Fuzztone clone, it is said Richards used a Fuzztone on this track) or better The Beatles "Think for Yourself" (it's possible they used the MKI on this track).BIGSMITTY wrote:Will same ones for mkII circuit work? vanessa your the best.
Read my earlier posts, it really needs a couple of low and leaky hfe (germaniums) in Q1, and Q3. Something like 40-60 in Q1. 80-100 in Q2, and 60-70 in Q3. But it gets weird from there. It needs them leaky here and there, and then there's tweaking the bias of Q2. I kind of see why Sola and Gibson stopped making these things. They must have had a lot of people complaining why they did not sound like Keith Richards or the Beatles and that might have ended in a lot of returns? Who knows? It's a bit of a pain in the rear to get that tone, but if you mess with it you can get it. I did.
