DRUNK BEAVER Ivan Mazepa

About the DRUNK BEAVER Ivan Mazepa

This pedal is reduced as B-stock - Aesthetic-only damage from leaked glue pot (don't ask!). Only top right quarter affected. Tested and works perfectly and sounds great. See pictures for details.

The Drunk Beaver Ivan Mazepa is Vitalii's ingenious remake of a 1970’s Soviet-era Poltava Fuzz-Wah pedal; a unique hybrid silicon / germanium circuit combining modern components with vintage Soviet transistors (Si KT315A/B & Ge GT310B) as found in the original.
