The D*A*M MKII is the only straight on exact replica that D*A*M produce and with good reason too. The MKII is a rebuild of the mighty Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII that was made famous by a certain Jimmy Page.

It is a part-for-part, sound-for-sound recreation of the original Sola Sound units, so whether you are after that elusive early- Led Zeppelin/Page-era Yardbirds tone or just after one fantastically organic sounding fuzz box, this could be for you. Features a three stage transistor circuit that has almost endless amounts of sustain which will remain remarkably controllable and melodic.

 
 
 
The objective when recording the soundclips below was to capture each D*A*M pedal's unique character. In order to do so, we've tried to minimise other variables and idiosyncrasies in the signal chain.
 
We choose to use an "industry-standard" bass guitar, amp and speaker cabinet configuration as well as mic selection, so that the unique tones you hear are derived from the pedals.
 
We also chose to play the same riff for all samples, to make it easier to compare between each pedal.
 
The recordings were done as part of a three-hour session at Auckland's Studio 203 using an industry-standard AKG D112 mic.
