***UPDATE: Feb 18th, 2023 – These are sold out, and out of stock until we can source more OC75 transistors. Looks like that may be the end, as these are now “Unobtanium” – If anyone knows of a source, contact me! In the meantime, see our next up LTD. Edition made with Mullard OC42 “red dots” – absolutely *siiiiiick* fuzz tone!
Here’s an updated picture – the original post and description is below:
Vintage Transistor Porn: OC75 “Black Glass”
Over the years, we’ve created quite a few custom pedals, and we’re going to offer some of our favorites in a limited series of pedals.
We will begin with a most delicious version of our “Elektrika” pedal, taken to the extreme of vintage tone. A trio of OC-series transistors (OC75) and a gorgeous hammered-gold finish with silkscreened graphics make this pedal stand out among TB MK1 replicas. With out added “Gate” and “Tone” controls as well as the “Fat/Tight” switch, this pedal has all the vintage tone you have ever dreamed of with the added flexibility to tune in any MK1 Fuzz tone you desire.
* If you’re familiar with our “standard” Elektrika, you may wonder, “Why the price bump?” It comes down to the transistors. Vintage OC75 Valvo transistors are very hard to find, and prices are skyrocketing as supplies disappear. We were lucky to have a few hundred, but these didn’t last long last long, as it takes about a dozen transistors to find the right values for one pedal! Our supply of transistors for our regular production “Elektrika” is still pretty healthy, but you may want to consider picking one of those up in any case! ;0)
Specs:
– Vintage OC-series Valvo “Black Glass” OC75 transistors
– Enclosure Size 125B, Finished in Gold Hammerite, Silkscreened Graphics
– Powered by 9v “Block” battery, or +9vDC power jack. We have built in an analog 9v power inverter, so you may power this with a standard negative ground power supply! (aka “Boss Style” adapter). This means the pedal integrates seamlessly with modern pedalboards.
– All the trimmings: Hand wired, Top Jacks and input/output wired with solid-core vintage wire, low power consumption LED, “Fat/Tight” switch for MK1/Zonk Machine tones, and our custom Gate and Tone controls to dial in all the fuzz tones you dream about…
Thanks for checkin it out!

” Limited Edition ” Elektrika – this is an amazing sounding pedal !!!! the tone and sustain are bar none. the clean up with the volume control is very sweet. it blows away my ramble effects twin bender. If you want to get a great mk 1 pedal the limited is the a no brainer. I have #2 and want to say Thank you Joe this pedal is one Bad MF. Those vintage black glass transistors make it worth every penny. I really dig the fat tight switch also a very innovative idea. Get one while you can as there will only be 25 period!!!!!!! Highly Recommended !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Mark, for your support and the kind words. I’m glad the pedal has a home where it’s really appreciated. It’s a very special pedal that will bring many, many years of pipin’ hot fuzz tone! Best wishes, – joe
