Finally found another Oracle V1 after selling mine a few years ago. This thing sounds outstanding. I’m not sure what kind of circuit it is, but it sounds great.

The Oracle is a two-transistor Germanium circuit, so any tonal similarities to a Muff are just a result of tweaking the circuit by ear. It'll sing, but was also designed to give a really useable, dynamic "Fuzzed OD" tone at lower Density settings. Its certainly not a 4-trannie BM build, thats for sure : ) The goal with the Oracle was to juice as much out of as few components as possible. In so many cases while tweaking this box, I found myself removing components I had added. An exercise in trying to acheive balance, and though its cliche', less was certainly more in this case.

Bryan's got an Oracle in the works. Its going to rip. :mrgreen:




Here we go! Always tempted with this build but never pulled thr trigger....

The oracle is such a great pedal! It’s a modified MK 1.5 I believe. And while it can be pretty fuzzy like the 1.5 it also has a super versatile gain range where it can be dialed in for overdrive type sounds. Haven’t heard from monolith mike in a while but I hope he is well and builds some pedals again he made some rad stuff!

It is basically MK 1.5 with heavily tweeked bigmuff tonestack. It is also PNP and negative ground. pretty unique stuff - hope to find one myself some day for reasonable price...

Hey man sorry took a minute. A guy at the Gear Page posted it for sale, and he happened to be about 30 minutes away from me! Was lucky, but I will admit I paid quite a bit for it...almost 400 dollars...so it was a little painful for the wallet. but honestly if I could find my old Kings Head id probably pay 400 for it as well. I messaged the guy who bought it off Reverb a long time ago to see if he wanted to sell it back to me lol. He said no.
