MMK Electrics Three Ptarmigan Pedal
The MMK Electrics Three Ptarmigan Pedal is a gritty, vintage-style fuzz box built to bring big, bold tones in a simple, easy-to-use design. It takes inspiration from classic 3-transistor fuzz circuits and delivers a sound that can go from warm and crunchy to thick, singing fuzz with plenty of sustain. It is made for players who want that old-school attitude but with a cleaner, more refined feel that sits well in modern setups. Small adjustments can take you from smooth drive to full, biting fuzz that cuts through any mix.
MMK Electrics Three Ptarmigan Pedal Review
This pedal is MMK Electrics’ take on a classic MKII-style fuzz circuit, designed to keep things tight, musical, and controlled while still offering plenty of raw character. The silicon-based circuit helps keep the tone more stable and less noisy compared to older designs, while still delivering that familiar fuzz texture. The Attack control shapes everything from light overdrive-style grit to a more aggressive, compressed fuzz when pushed. Running at 9 to 18 volts gives players extra headroom and flexibility, making it feel responsive whether you are playing at home or on stage. It is also built with true bypass switching so your clean tone stays untouched when the effect is off.

Level
This sets the overall loudness of the pedal. Turn it up to match your clean signal or push it higher to stand out in a mix. It acts like your main volume control when the fuzz is engaged.
Attack
This shapes the character of the fuzz. Lower settings give you a warmer, smoother tone with a softer edge. As you turn it up, the sound becomes more aggressive, brighter, and more compressed with extra bite and sustain.
