Description

The Bonk Machine, by DanDrive in collaboration with Joey Landreth, is a fuzz pedal that blends vintage inspired tones with modern enhancements. This signature pedal by Joey Landreth pays homage to the classic Zonk Machine, while introducing his personal touch, ensuring it delivers the sputtery top end fuzz and midrange he loves.

Inspired by the iconic Zonk Machine fuzz pedal, the Dan Drive Joey Landreth signature Bonk Machine offers the distinctive, gnarly fuzz sound that players crave, with a modern twist. Whether you're after smooth, reedy tones or want to unleash a wall of fuzzy distortion, the Dan Drive Joey Landreth signature Bonk Machine has you covered. Its versatile sound makes it ideal for guitar and baritone, while also performing excellently with bass, bringing the signature fuzz to every instrument.

The Bonk Machine is powered by three temperature stable germanium transistors, ensuring consistent performance, even under varying conditions. The DanDrive Bonk Machine’s Level and Fuzz controls make it straightforward and easy to dial in your perfect sound, whether you're looking for subtle drive or full on sonic chaos.

Hand built with precision; the DanDrive Bonk Machine features a circuit design with larger copper traces. This ensures your signal flows freely, enhancing tone and reducing any unwanted noise. The use of high quality, physically larger components instead of standard SMD parts delivers a richer, fuller sound. True bypass switching ensures your signal remains pure when the pedal is not in use.

Another unique aspect of the Bonk Machine is its use of premium germanium transistors, which are carefully sourced and known for their warm, smooth fuzz tones. These transistors can be harder to find, making the Dan Drive Bonk Machine a truly special piece of gear. The pedal also features a jewel amp light for the power LED, adding a vintage touch to the design.

Visually, the Dan Drive Joey Landreth signature Bonk Machine stands out with its fabric cover in striking blue, then coated with an acrylic finish. A branded diamond shaped plate, featuring Joey Landreth’s signature, completes the design, giving the fuzz pedal a unique and stylish appearance.

In summary, the Bonk Machine is a beautifully crafted, high performance fuzz pedal that combines the best of vintage tone with modern reliability and design. Whether you're a fan of the classic Zonk or simply looking for a unique fuzz pedal that can bring your sound to its full potential, the Dan Drive Bonk Machine delivers in every way.
