Van Diemens Analogue Audio Disruptors The Tarkine Fuzz Pedal
The Tarkine is VDAAD's take on the iconic Vox V828 Tonebender circuit. It's driven by a beautiful pair of germanium transistors under the hood, and delivers a rich, smooth, gooey fuzz with attitude aplenty. It cleans up convincingly with a twist of the volume control, or set all-out wails with the best of them. It's a warm and balanced fuzz that could easily be a main overdrive in the right setting. Schwing!
Transistors: NTK CV7007 in q1, SFT 323 in q2; germanium
Other components: NOS Philips and Mullard tropical fish capacitors. Resistors are by Philips, Piher and Allen Bradley. Neutrik Jacks, Alpha 24mm Pots. Enclousre by Hammond, finished in Forest Green Hammertone Powdercoat.
Van Diemens Analogue Audio Disruptors is the project of local tonehound Richard Turner, based out a small studio in Dodges Ferry, near Hobart, Australia. Richard uses NOS and recycled specialist components to create deluxe fuzz, boost and treble boost pedals. Each pedal is point-to-point hand wired on hand-cut phenolic boards, using transistors from 1950-70s and capacitors and resistors from 1960-99. The enclosures are hand-finished, and sent in plastic-free packaging.
