The BPC Shatterbox is a faithful replica of the original John Hornby Skewes Shatterbox, which was produced in Leeds around 1966. This vintage-inspired unit combines two effects in one pedal: the classic JHS Zonk fuzz and a Treble Booster circuit. The original Shatterbox was produced in extremely limited numbers, adding to its mystique and desirability.
The Shatterbox's Famous Legacy
The Shatterbox was famously used by Marc Bolan of T-Rex, contributing to his distinctive sound and making this pedal a sought-after piece of rock history. The BPC replica brings this rare effect back to life for modern players while staying true to the original design and sound.
