S Hawk LTD
So I’ve come across a little unit that has 1/4″ ins and outs and the name S HAWK LTD stamped right across the front. Seneca Hawk - S Hawk - How awesome is that. Apparently it’s an early fuzz unit with different gain stages and two tone sliders. This is the first and only I’ve seen, and a Google search pulls up about two results. Has anyone else seen one of these?
Between my Tele and ‘81 4×10 Concert this thing sounds ridiculously cool. You control it with its little switches and sliders, as it’s not a stompbox. Flipped onto the high gain setting it sounds monsterous. I’ve been using it in its low gain setting to push my amp a bit and it’s a keeper for sure. I believe this is destiny.

I have one but I can not find any info on it. Mine seems to be 18 volt (is yours?)
I got it from from the junk sale box at a music store that I used to hang out at.

Hi there,

Thanks,

I met the inventor in 1972 with guitarist Peter Haycock of the Climax Blues Band in Manhatten and bought one right on the spot from him. It has the 3 faders and is very rare. Sounds great and Peter bought one too.
