Description
Black Cat Custom MK1 Britannia
The Black Cat MK1 Britannia is a custom-made limited edition that offers a more traditional take on the classic MKI circuit than its predecessor, the MKI Americano. From its replica enclosure to the choice of components, the MKI Britannia captures the essence of the original 1965 Tone Bender MKI.Add expansive effects to your pedalboard with the Custom MK1 Britannia.
Black Cat’s Take
The Black Cat Custom MKI Britannia is housed in a replica enclosure with the same gold top/black bottom color scheme as the original MKI. The top part of the enclosure features the same gold sparkle finish we use on the Mini Trem. The bottom half of the enclosure has an elegant satin black finish.
Our selection of components reflects the spirit of the original MKI without having the undue burden of being an exact part for part copy. Period correct parts are used throughout – vintage Mullard OC77 and OC75 germanium transistors, genuine NOS mustard caps, blue Philips electrolytic cap, and carbon comp resistors. Like the Americano, the MKI Britannia is point-to-point wired on split-top double turrets, and is built by our Master Technician, Greg Radawich.
