Tone Bender MkI
Vintage Pedal Workshop's Tone Bender MkI is a meticulously crafted reissue of a true tone legend. This fuzz pedal's pedigree dates back to the 1960s, when its aggressive yet musical distortion became a staple of British rock and blues. The Tone Bender MkI PF faithfully recreates that iconic sound, thanks to a painstaking attention to detail. At the heart of this pedal are three specially selected and matched germanium transistors, which deliver the Tone Bender's signature smooth sustain and harmonically rich overdrive. Vintage Pedal Workshop has spent countless hours sourcing and testing these critical components, ensuring your MkI PF performs just as the original did. The circuit has also been expertly tuned to eliminate the "gating" effect that can plague lesser Tone Bender clones. Beyond the meticulous electronics, the MkI PF's construction is built to last. Its rugged folded-steel enclosure and Bakelite circuit board provide rock-solid durability, while the true bypass switching keeps your tone pure when the pedal is disengaged. Thoughtful touches like the low-current LED indicator and 9V power input make this a pedalboard-friendly powerhouse. Whether you're chasing the snarling fuzz of early Zeppelin, the scorching leads of Cream, or the dynamic sustain of Gary Moore, the Tone Bender MkI PF is a must-have for any discerning guitarist. Vintage Pedal Workshop has done justice to a true icon of rock history.
