So why is the MKII so special and sought after?
Well, some would say that it all about the place it holds in the world of rock’n’roll. When I demo a MKII in the shop these days I am still blown away by the sound – for me it is the epitome of great guitar tone – loads of headroom , warm fat crunch through to aggressive rock tones suitable for downtuning , then back off your volume and there are all those huge blues tones . That’s today . . .what it must have been like back in 1964 I can only imagine – It must have been like a spaceship landing – most people walking into Macaris back then would have only heard a fuzzbox on record – this pedal played through an old Marshall or Selmer or Vox – well , for a guitarist , it must have been life changing .
See Jimmy Page using the Pro MkII in the recent rock-u-mentary "It Might Get Loud"....
Some of the most memorable guitar sounds of the 60s were produced with a Tone Bender – Keep on Runnin – Whole Lotta Love – quote quote – the list goes on and on so if you want to nail those tones this is the pedal for you.
How did the latest Pro MKII come about ?
People kept asking us for a MKII – we hadn’t made a reissue since the late 90s, so we felt it would only be polite to make one again. This time we decided to go a bit crazy with it – as a tribute to our fathers Larry and Joe who formed Sola Sound in 1964 we set out to make the finest MKII that had ever been made – we figured – forget about the price, let’s just make the best pedal in the World – We’ll make 100 – surely there are 100 people who would want one ?
We found the best case makers in the UK , sourced an amazing bunch of germanium OC84s then cemented our relationship with David Main of D.A.M. stompboxes by getting the man himself to build our new MKII by hand. When news got out we took orders for the first 100 in 48 hours – we we’re quite bowled over !
