Product information

The British Pedal Company Compact Series Zonk Machine is a compact, modern replica of the original Zonk Machine MKI pedal designed by Wilsic sound for John Hornby Skewes and produced in Leeds, England from 1965 to 1966. The design and circuit topology of the 3-transistor Zonk machine is very similar to the MKI Tone Bender (designed by Gary Hurst), but the modified circuit offers a slightly different, tighter sound with less low end and more boost than the Tone Bender. Due to the limited production time, originals are extremely rare and are among the most sought-after pedals in the world.

About British Pedal Company

The British Pedal Company brings together a team of designers and developers with over 60 years of experience in the music industry. The team originally developed, designed and created pedals for the JMI brand in the early 2000s and was very successful. In 2011 they split from JMI and launched their own range under the name British Pedal Company in 2014. Today, the British Pedal Company is able to offer a far superior product, thanks to the many hours of research that have gone into improving production and optimizing transistor manufacturing. All transistors are manufactured to in-house specifications to ensure higher reliability and lower noise. Pedals from the British Pedal Company are played by, among others, Billy Gibbons ( ZZ Top ), Dan Auerbach ( The Black Keys ) and Gary Moore.
