The Nick Perri Signature MK1 Fuzz is available now Sold Out.
Introducing the Nick Perri Signature MK1 Fuzz! This custom handmade pedal pays homage to one of the legendary fuzz boxes from the early days of loud – the MK1 Tone Bender.
This edition is the fruit of our collaboration with Nick to produce a scintillating fuzz that cuts through the mix and breathes new life on the rock n roll stage. Based on an earlier Zonk/MK1 Wedge we built for Nick, this fuzz focuses its power on producing smoking hot MK1 tones in a pedalboard friendly enclosure with a little extra special desert spice thrown in.
Below the Battery On/Off switch on top are controls for Attack and Level (left and right). Attack dials in the pedal’s sweet spot and Level sets the overall output. Adjusting the output level higher or lower also has an impact on the tone. It’s a bit brighter at lower levels and fattens out as you turn it up. Experimentation is the key here to find where it works best with your setup.
The Nick Perri MK1 also features a LED indictor lamp and DC power jack. The internal battery is included as standard. Note: External DC power operation requires use of an isolated power supply – most modern multi-outlet pedalboard supplies meet this requirement. This pedal operates with a positive ground and must not have its power input daisy chained to other pedals. Please get in touch if unsure whether your supply meets this requirement. Current draw is very low at 5mA which allows for plenty of life when using the internal battery.
Each pedal is optimised for its set of transistors to provide the ultimate fuzz experience. This special batch uses a trio of premium New Old Stock transistors - Texas Instruments 2N1307 in Q1, Mullard/Valvo Black Glass OC45 in Q2 and Texas Instruments 2G308 in Q3. The sets are matched for their tonal qualities and how they interact together in the circuit. All are of the highest quality and tested by ear for low noise and great tone.
The Nick Perri MK1 has a tactile, chewy attack, loaded with interesting overtones and some tasty gating that’s accentuated when rolling back your guitar volume or softening your attack. Always musical and inspiring to play – this is the type of effect that sends you off exploring unchartered sonic territory - endless fun and always inspiring!
All pedals come complete with a custom carry bag, signed and numbered certificate of authenticity and instruction card.

Reviews
So it's now been more than 3 months since I received this MK1 fuzz. I give it a 100% rating. Like its color, if it competed at the Olympics, it would get the gold. In fact, for me, I don't see how it could be any better.
I mainly use it with a humbucker/plexi/combination - Pure magic!
The only other time I can remember being this happy with an effects pedal was when my dad bought me my first distortion, when I was a kid.
The battery on/off switch is also a nice feature.
Delivery was fast and the transaction was easy.
Hopefully you will love it as much as I do ✌️
From Montreal, right across the globe.
This was my second Cunningham pedal and it did not disappoint! As with all of Tims creations it wasn't easy getting my hands on this one, but I was lucky enough to be quick with the draw when the time came. If you haven't experienced buying a product from Cunningham ill tell you.. its not just a purchase its an experience Tim kept me updated on the entire process of the pedals build out and notified me promptly when the pedal shipped. It arrived in perfect condition to me in Nashville very promptly about 3 days via DHL. Now for the good stuff once you plug in one of Tims pedals you need to brace yourself for the overwhelming amazingness that all of his pedals contain .These NP signature fuzz are absolutely tone monsters there isn't a bad setting on these. its hard to explain but this particular flavor of fuzz is ultra organic and true to the natural dark woody tones produced by the guitar. If you have the chance GET ONE !!!
I’ve tried a bunch of fuzz pedals & none of them really satisfied me. I’m kind of a sucker for limited edition pedals so when I saw this announced I figured I would buy it, try it out, & probably sell it eventually. I AM NEVER SELLING THIS! It’s amazing. It’s become a big part of my tone & sounds so much better than any of the other fuzz pedals I’ve tried. The fact that it’s a Nick Perri signature (fellow local Philadelphian, Jawn) is what grabbed my attention. The fact that it sounds so unbelievably amazing is what gave it a permanent spot on my board. Also I’m still trying to figure out how it got to my house in the Philly suburbs from Australia so quickly. Thanks for an amazing tonal upgrade!
Nick and Tim are the perfect duo to pull off an incredible take on the MK1 Fuzz. Believe everything written about this pedal as it is true. Super cool design (including pedal board friendly size), amazing tones and Tim's wonderful attention to detail makes this one to get.
This fuzz get's you as close to the tones you hear on Nick Perri's second album, TERRA FIRMA as you can get without renting out Nick's actual hands for the weekend. A wonderful stomp box with a couple of key features that gives any player the exact right amount of flexibility to actually be used on a gigging pedal board in any situation. The battery on/off switch is a such a creative idea and what can be said for the sound and quality but "10 out of 10, would recommend"? It's basically perfect.
Got in on the first run of the Nick Perry MKI fuzz. Tim's selection and matching of NOS transistors and parts is as good as it gets in the fuzz world. This MKI fuzz is beautiful and smooth and musical with both single coils and humbuckers too. Through a clean channel or an overdriven one, this MKI oozes great usable tones through the full sweep. The inside detailed wiring is incredible and Tim's external finishes are stunning too, especially this one with this cactus artwork and gold color.
