SÚPER rite´67
rite´67 preserves the 1967 silicon specification developed by Ed Sanner for Mosrite.
It does not recreate a later interpretation or an idealized version.
It holds the circuit exactly at the point it was produced that year.
The silicon architecture, gain structure and phenolic board construction correspond to that specific stage of production.
No corrections.
No revisions.
No additions.
It is preserved as it was built.
Character
The 1967 silicon specification produces a fuzz with pronounced upper-mid presence and immediate attack.
Its contour is defined and slightly nasal, with a tight, tense texture.
The decay is not progressive or compressed; it tends to close abruptly under certain dynamics, creating a near-gated behavior.
It is aggressive, direct and structurally raw.
This character can be heard in recordings such as “Spirit in the Sky” (1969) by Norman Greenbaum, where the silicon architecture delivers a sharp, cutting distortion that sits clearly in the mix.
This behavior is not the result of contemporary reinterpretation.
It is the direct consequence of the original 1967 configuration.
