Tone Bender Professional MkII
The JMI Tone Bender Professional MkII is a true icon of the fuzz pedal world, a sonic time capsule that transports players back to the halcyon days of 1960s British rock. Powered by a trio of rare Mullard OC75 transistors, this meticulously crafted reissue faithfully recreates the gnarly, harmonically rich tone that defined the sound of legendary guitarists like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and George Harrison. Beneath its rugged sand-cast aluminum housing lies a circuit that's the stuff of legend - a three-stage fuzz circuit that unleashes a thick, creamy distortion unlike anything else. Crank the volume and you'll be greeted by a wall of unapologetic sustain and searing, harmonic-laden gain that can instantly transform your guitar into a raging beast. Yet the Tone Bender also exhibits a surprising touch sensitivity, allowing players to coax a range of tones from a gentle, smooth overdrive to a full-on fuzz assault. What makes the MkII so special is its ability to capture the magical, organic character of the original pedals. The use of carefully selected NOS components ensures that each unit delivers the same dynamic, responsive feel that made the Tone Bender a staple of the British Invasion. It's a pedal that not only nails the iconic sounds of the past, but also inspires new generations of guitarists to push the boundaries of expression.
