Description

The Bender by JHS is a vintage-style fuzz effect pedal designed to replicate the 1973 MKIII Tonebender. It features specific technical specifications as follows:

- Power Requirements: It uses 9V DC negative center with a 4mA consumption. It is important not to use more than 9V DC to avoid voiding the warranty.
- Dimensions: The pedal measures 5.68 x 3.62 x 2.0 inches and weighs 0.85 lbs.
- Battery Operation: The Bender allows for battery operation via a single 9V battery. The backplate can be opened to access the battery clip for installation.

The controls on the pedal include Volume, Tone, and Attack. The Volume knob sets the overall output level, the Tone knob allows for sweeping between bright and dark tones, and the Attack knob controls the distortion level. Additionally, there is a "Mode" button that provides access to a unique "JHS Mode" for increased gain and mid-frequency boost.

The Bender is designed to cater to a wide range of use-cases, from achieving middle-of-the-road crunch distortion to full-out aggression. It is suitable for users who appreciate the fuzz sounds of artists such as Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, The Beatles, Mick Ronson (David Bowie), and My Bloody Valentine.

The pedal's tone control is highly flexible, offering numerous sonic variations. It is built with carefully chosen modern silicon transistors to provide accuracy and consistency while capturing the touch, feel, and response of vintage germanium fuzz.

Overall, the Bender by JHS is a meticulously crafted pedal that offers a blend of vintage fuzz tones with modern reliability and functionality, making it a valuable addition to any guitarist's setup.
