ȘTÖRKN B0kš is a confused\/confusing and vaguely nordic mashup of \"Stonk Box\" and \"Torn\". It utilizes automatic thermal bias, so after plugging it into power, it will take 2-3 minutes on average to sound correct. The color of the LED indicator light might change. \u003cstrong\u003eDon’t turn the internal trimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ȘTÖRKN B0kš started as a tweaked version of the Stonk Box, a heavily modified version of a Tone Bender mk1 Fuzz.  David Torn loved the circuit, but for his personal pedal he requested more bass on tap, mostly for amplifying the sub frequencies of his down tuned guitars. Benson added a variable bass control, that effectively fades between the thinned out bass sound of the first version of the Zonk Machine (what the Stonk comes with stock), and the wide open sound of the mk1. The addition of more bass allows for even more gnarly, gated, gnarly and crushing Fuzz Tones than the Stonk Box could do stock. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe other major difference between the Stonk and the ȘTÖRKN B0kš is the addition of a unique positive feedback switch. Benson uses a diode network in the oscillation path to get weird sub tones, synthy filter sounds and basically the ability to ruin a perfectly good set with the press of a button. It is powerful magic. Benson doesn't recommend pressing this button, but if you do, use the fuzz right after your guitar, and make sure to twist every knob including your onboard volume and tone. We won't spoil it for you, but I know we haven't found all the sounds in there yet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAUTOMATIC THERMAL BIAS TECHNOLOGY\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bias of the transistors in this pedal is automatically regulated by a circuit that GENTLY warms the Germanium transistors (2N404 OR 2N527) to a preset operating point using analog components, and ensures a consistent sound, no matter the external temperature. When the LED is amber, the transistors are warming up to increase their hFE (transistor gain) and to shift the bias point to the correct voltage. When the LED turns green, the warmer is off because the correct bias and hFE have been set. Expect the LED to toggle back and forth every so often while the pedal is on...that is how you know it's working. The heaters will warm the transistors enough to still be effective on a summer stage, but far cooler than anything that would harm the transistors. This pedal is designed to operate between freezing and 100F but might still sound fine outside this range....up to about 120F where we’ve found germanium straight up ceases to function...which can happen if it’s left in the sun. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eINTERNAL TRIMMER\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease don’t turn the internal trimmer.
