I have on of those (Zonk II).
I bought it back in the 70s from a local shop.
It was a great pedal for a unique "Spirit in the Sky"-type fuzz, but it has quit working.
I was told it's a transistor, but have no cl;ue how to fix it or test it.
Any suggestions?

Where are you based?
I’m sure there will be a builder who could get that sorted

2N4061 transistors are still easily available in the UK (I have some that are the same make as the ones seen in Graham's pics that i got many years ago :oldgrin: ).
It would be fairly easy for anyone with a bit of knowledge to check and replace one, but it might be more likely one of the capacitors has failed than one of the transistors...
