For Sale SOLD Zinky Mofo #9 of 100

[Nigel]

Price

1200

This is an EXTREMELY rare Zinky Mofo head. This was hand built in the USA by master amp builder Bruce Zinky of the Fender Custom Shop, designer of the Tone Master (Foo Fighters "Everlong" tone) Vibro King, Prosonic, and Supro amps. This is number 9 of a limited run of 100 signed and numbered amps made in 2000. Super clean condition!! Upgraded by Bruce, Zinky Custom Shop Deluxe modded! No other Mofo is like this one!

Two foot-switchable channels. The clean channel is very Vox AC-15 like. The Mofo (high gain) channel is kind of a Soldano SLO (Mofo) and JCM800 (Retro) but with better bass response. Technically, it's a modified '59 Bassman TMB circuit, exactly like the Fender Tonemaster gain channel. It is very sensitive to playing dynamics, can break up nicely at bedroom playing levels, and sings at stage volume. Dave Grohl said no other amp gives him control over his sound with just the volume knob, and the OD channel will go from liquid sustain lead, to crunch, to fat clean with solid bottom and chime in my experience!

Amp is clean, not much use as I have another MOFO that's highly modified. This one is bone stock other than the deluxe mods Bruce did which include:

• Upgraded handle
• New front/back panels
• Upgraded power/standby switches
• Upgraded feet
• Effects Loop
• Dual button foot switchable for Clean/OD and Mofo/Retro
• Final revision MOFO circuit spec upgrades to the power section and tone stack

Which one did you get? What tubes/cab are you running?

I had one of those but can’t remember the serial number. Great amp. Mine did not have a loop. I didn’t know it was a modded ‘59 circuit. Nice! GLWTS

These are killer, and that's a solid price. The only one I ever played didn't have a loop so i decided it wasn't for me, but they sound fantastic.

Thanks. Many of these that Bruce modded have the stock rear plate cut with label maker nomenclature under the FX loop jacks. Bruce made a whole new panel for this one so it’s totally clean. I really should up the price more but I’m gonna leave it here for RT. Reverb might get a “Bump” tho!

i should've been clearer, i don't own one of these 100, i have a mofo route 66 that i recently bought on reverb, it's got a loop and switchable mains with a toggle switch, badass amp, no matter

running tung sol 5881s for power, basic 12ax7 jjs for preamp

i'm mot a person that gets caught up too much with the power/pre amp tube cork snniffing, i am almost 100 % positive i couldn't tell,

so maybe i'm wrong?

Ah, I've heard of those. Mofo with FX loop? Combo? I wonder if they're the same plate voltage as the MOFO's or if they have Bruce's American iron. 545v on Tung Sol 5881's would be too much prolly.
