zonk machine clones?

[pigmaker]

does ian @ ghost have one?

I recently picked up the Creepy Fingers version, the Hornskewer, along with the matching Sugarboost. They're badass and pretty limited edition. Scott at Axe And You Shall Receive had a small run custom built for his shop a couple years back....

There's a few other options out there but the CF stuff always sounds great so I went that route.

Ghost does one I think, and I know Basic Audio does one.

nice, thanks guys

i have a rogue sound hatchet harry, which is based on the zonk machine ii according to david mains write up

not sure of the diff between zm i and ii

ii must be silicon. the hatchet harry is

There was the Earthquaker Devices Zap Machine, but that was a limited edition offering. Best bet might be to get a DIYer or Shark Tank builder to do one custom.

Edit: there's a Zap Machine going for $200 in b/s/t right now. Hard to copy/paste the URL from my phone, will try to do so later from my computer.

Edit x2: here's the listing: viewtopic.php?f=44&t=35395

Dude! Thank you

No problem!

It was pretty funny - I was laying in bed, trying to remember what the EQD Zonk Machine clone was called, figured it out, and thought "Damn, I haven't seen one of those in a while." I then went to do my b/s/t browse of the morning, and the first thread I clicked on was that one with the Zap Machine in it!

COSMIC!

Hilarious, I always start and end each day with a browse of the B/S/T as well. And then pretty much fill all the time in between also browsing the B/S/T.

Hey, that's my Zap! Lovely and super useful fuzz, definitely the kind of thing for someone who "doesn't like fuzz." It's a loose adaptation of the Zonk though.

Jamie at EQD wrote about the Zap:

“I wanted to create a fuzz using old school parts that has a more modern sound. Additionally, I want to make a touch sensitive fuzz, something I haven’t come across yet. When the fuzz control is at zero, it has just a hint of hair and can be used as a booster of sorts. From about 9-3 O’Clock there are a wide range of Overdrive/Distortion tones that are reactive to picking dynamics with a lot of clarity and definition. After 3 O’clock it becomes more of an overloaded fuzz tone. The Tone control adds low end without cutting highs as you turn it up, also useful for the dynamics and the whole fuzz/Distortion/OD separation range. It’s a silicon/germanium hybrid, uses carbon composition resistors and high voltage caps usually found in old amps, true bypass and runs off 9v battery or standard power supply. The name is inspired by the old hornsby-skewes zonk machine and the circuit it’s self has a very faint resemblance to the hornsby skewes shatterbox but it’s not a clone and the shatterbox wasn’t even used as a reference. Once I drew the schematic out I realized it looked very similar (except the shatterbox sounds like absolute garbage!).”
