Mothership Pigtronix MK1 #0846. (Rare UK find ?) £265 Brighton / London

[Dons]

Another pedal I’ve bought directly from David Koltai a little while back. Mothership Pigtronix MK1 ,  I’ve used it for a project but wasnt actually turned on all that much, infact there is marking on the pedal for that one song.. none the less, what goes on the board - stays on the board until theres no point carrying it.. RIght ? (no need to answer that ,, 🙈) and I find this pedal a little hard to let go I have to admit, but the cathartic process is good, so I plough through,, !

 

This beast is one of the very few that actually delivering on the synth side of things with a sound of its own !  When I mean synth , I mean an actual analogue sinewave(s) which you can blend along with your bass and further stomp boxes ! ! David has clearly thought this pedal through and through with all these features, including: 
- Sub out, 

- VCO,

- Glides,

- Whammy range,

- Ring modulator,

- Sinewaves shapes on off, 

- Sub octave (even on my 5er Lowest  ! (I love this one when blend is off btw ! )   

And so much more but mostly THE BLEND ! ! so your bass stays on the channel if you want to and you can tune the synth right up to it or harm it even !   - or completely kill it and just stay with a synth. 

 

I’ve yet to come across anything that can do half as much with a sound of its own ! If anything, I think David has created one of those outstanding pedals that further versions aren't really going to match the original. Its an early version as well.  unit number 846. which I reckon will become collectors paradise soon enough.

 

It wants your clean/preamp signal first. Or post comp. And if your active basses and battery are too low it would tell you go elsewhere for tracking. I've used it with passive pbass and Jbass and working beautifully !

  

Comes with a box and manual and a US type lead which i’d say is probably my only criticism of this unit, they could have come up with a better lead, but thats that I guess, it works and you can find replacements.  

I took it for a service to be done by Koltai team as well in 2022. 

 

I really dont know how to price this,, None available in the UK and from my research so far, combining ebay and reverb etc,  items only available internationally. So £265 seems like a reasonable BC deal for this unit, inc box and manual etc. My initial reaction was £290 but ive deducted points on the power lead, its working perfectly fine , but still I can imagine you might want to replace this at some point and they cost about £12ish or so.

 

Price: £265.  seems fair considering whats out there, the overall condition and box.(saw a japanese dude selling it for £650.) 

Condition: Very Good.

Includes: Original box, manual  original power supply. 
Collection: Brighton or London.  or can post within the UK (tracked and insured, at your expense.(will be heading upnorth 23/24/25/ August so can meet along M1/M6.  Meet along the way or outside Manchester or nearby cities.)

 

Feel free to ask any questions, 

Thanks,
