Effects: Big Muff, Fuzz

The DP-93K is an exclusive limited edition version of the DP- 93 featuring a Khaki Military green custom shop paint work.

Internally the 93K is based upon some of the earliest examples of the 1990s Sovtek manufactured Big Miff Pi, offering you a sonic snapshot of those uber rare variants at a fraction of the cost of prime vintage piece. The overall output is powerful and robust with a tremendous throaty roar at maximum bass settings, treble settings layer dynamically without giving overtly glassy or brittle timbre. The voicing is such that the circuitry is capable of handling the requirements of all electronic instruments, regardless of tuning frequency. Although brutal in nature the DP-93K is perfectly able to deliver smooth and refined singing distortion but when called to duty, will hammer down with crushing force yielding massive swathes of speaker splitting fuzz.

Potentiometers feature a conductive polymer track rather than the traditional carbon track for increased durability and longevity. Our foot switches are heavy duty 3PDT types with hard-wire true bypass operation. Audio jacks feature Ni-Ag alloy self-cleaning contacts for optimal performance and reliability. The LED's fitted are low drain types with a wide and easy to see viewing angle. The control surface is functional with bold position markers and flush surface mounting control knobs. Circuit board population features capacitors with a polypropylene film construction, 1W commercial grade carbon film resistors and gain selected BC549C epitaxial planar silicon transistors. Offering vintage styled tones but with higher modern day specification, thus delivering a superb signal-to-noise ratio. Whether you seek the vintage tones of a Sovtek era Big Muff Pi but without burden of the ever-increasing vintage prices, or whether you seek a high gain distortion device tailored for the heavy but with its roots firmly embedded in the past, the Emanating Fist Electronics Dope Priest DP-93 will give you the sonic enlightenment that you seek.

93 vs. 93K

Both DP-93 models of the Dope Priest are based upon the 1990s Russian manufactured Sovtek Big Muff Pi. The DP-93 upon the rare 7D version featuring the 430 ohm emitter resistors, and the DP-93K upon the uber rare ‘Green Army Civil War‘ 7B units. Tonally, this is not a day and night comparison as the differences are very subtle. The 93 is a hair tighter the low end projection whereas the 93K has a slightly throatier bark.
