Bondi effects DEL MAR MK2

The DEL MAR MK2 is a pedal offered by the Bondi Effects brand.

Australian brand Bondi Effects took on the challenge of combining two legendary overdrive circuits in a compact package. Discover the sound you've always dreamed of thanks to a transparent overdrive boosted by another very midrange overdrive. If you like to stack drives, this classic but elegantly designed pedal is for you, isn't it great?

The pedal offers classic Drive and Output settings, complemented by two-band active EQ, Bass and Treble. These settings allow you to cut or boost +/-15dB for maximum versatility. As on a famous gold (or silver) pedal, the internal voltage is boosted to 24 volts for an impressive headroom and dynamics rivaling a tube amp. A small two-position switch allows you to switch between two different characters, including one that makes the Del Mar MK2 sound like a “BluesBreaker” style pedal. This switch also affects the perceived volume.

For this MK2 version, Bondi Effects used their most robust power supply, which generates a much more efficient signal-to-noise ratio than the MK1 version. The True Bypass switch is now silent. You can use the pedal as a Clean Boost, an overdrive, or a combination of both. Its unique sound, at the crossroads of several styles of overdrives, will not fail to seduce you.
