Rey Custom Shop Pro Mk1.6
The Del Rey Custom Shop Pro Mk1.6 is a true sonic time capsule, blending the hallmark tones of two revered fuzz pedal legends - the Tone Bender and the Fuzz Face. This rare and meticulously crafted unit taps into a sweet spot that has eluded many fuzz enthusiasts, delivering a unique voice that's both saturated and articulate. At its core, the Pro Mk1.6 utilizes a pair of carefully matched, NOS (new-old-stock) Germanium transistors - the coveted OC75 and OC72 - which lend an organic, harmonically rich character to your tone. The two-transistor design combines the singing sustain of a Fuzz Face with the presence and clarity of a Tone Bender, allowing your guitar's natural voice to shine through the thick distortion. But this pedal isn't just a vintage clone - it also features a unique Bias control that gives you unprecedented command over the gating and tone shaping. Dial it in to taste, and unlock a world of fuzz textures, from smooth and creamy to aggressive and sputtering. Rumor has it that the Mk1.5 version of this circuit was even used by none other than Paul McCartney during the recording of the Beatles' classic "Think For Yourself" on Rubber Soul. While the Pro Mk1.6 may be a modern reinterpretation, it carries on the legacy of those legendary tones, making it a must-have for any fuzz fanatic in search of a truly distinctive sound.
