Not yet, but I drool over that Instagram. Would love to add a fuzz face from him. Someday maybe. Eiko building my a hybrid fuzz face at the moment. Cannot wait to see the final result. Will be a nice way to start the new year !

Guts look the same as my early 70's one, a "Batman logo" MkIV, unmarked STC transistors

Thanks for you reply. Mine also seems to have the STC transistors.
Re to Spook. I don't think it has been repainted. The hammarite finish looks to professional. Also, may MKIV TBs I find in this forum are hammerite (for example here https://stompboxes.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... ors#p15276).
Is it possible to remove the lettering without hurting the underlying hammarite finish? If not, it must be refinished, however.
I tried to date the pedal via pots. But I could not find any info the pot rules for Radiohm pots. I read on my pots: 100k D 2 A. A seem to stand for linnear.
There is no date stamp.

Looks repainted to me as well. I don't recall seeing a 'Batman' MKIV like that with such a detailed hammertone before. Interestingly, forumite Laundromat has a 'blank' Tone Bender with a similar parts selection (dated November 1973), but his looks to have been sanded bare rather than (re-)painted.

Re: Just pr0n!
Excluding funky custom (Roger Mayer etc) pedals that we haven't even seen yet, I suppose it could have been this one:
(also from 1965!)

Re: Just pr0n!
ah yes, let's refine the question then - first non-wedge fuzz foot pedal?

Re: Just pr0n!
Tricky! I wonder if the first pedal to have a completely flat footswitch might have been the long red monster Pep Boxes (from mid-1966). I bet there's some funky American stuff that has slipped my mind though...
