DanDrive Secret Machine MKII
The Secret Machine MKII is DanDrive’s updated take on their original germanium fuzz, reimagined after vintage transistor supplies ran dry. This revamped version captures the raw, aggressive sound of classic Zonkmachine fuzz, but with a modern twist—it cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume control, just like a Fuzz Face.
Meticulously re-voiced, the Secret Machine MKII offers a wide dynamic range—from thick, saturated fuzz to chimey, clean tones—depending on how you play and set your volume. It’s touch-sensitive and highly responsive, making it ideal for expressive players.
Compared to DanDrive’s Secret Weapon, the Secret Machine MKII delivers a brighter, more focused tone, making it especially well-suited for darker amplifiers or warm-sounding pickups that need some edge. With temperature-stable transistors onboard, it delivers consistent performance whether on stage or in the studio.
Housed in a compact 125B enclosure with top-mounted jacks, true bypass, and a vintage-style jewel light, the Secret Machine MKII brings old-school fuzz vibes with modern versatility to your pedalboard.
If you love the texture of a Zonk but want the responsive cleanup of a Fuzz Face, this pedal is the best of both worlds.
