My Zonk Machine builds go by GREENLEAF, and are my flagship offering. It’s no secret the Zonk is my favorite effect. A lot of recent Zonk-based effects sound really trebly. They aren’t really supposed to sound like that. My two vintage units, and several others I’ve met and/or repaired, are actually quite dark. The old ones also sustain naturally, with very little gating. Due to the small input cap, Zonks do not compress as much as MKI Tone Benders.
