Solar Bender by Magnetic Effects

The Solar Bender by Magnetic Effects is a fuzz pedal designed to capture the sonic flavor of a Tone Bender MKII Fuzz. It offers smooth, saturated fuzz tones with excellent harmonic overtones, sustain, and an organic mid-range response. The pedal features specific technical specifications and controls:

- Size: 118 x 66 x 40mm
- Weight: 320 grams excluding battery
- Power: 9V battery or 9V DC center negative adapter
- Current Draw: 8.5 mA
- Switching: True Bypass

Controls:
- Level: Controls the overall output of the pedal
- Attack: Alters the amount of fuzz
- Bias: Affects the electronics tuning of the germanium transistors
- Fat: A switch that enhances the bass response of the pedal for a fuller low end

The Solar Bender also includes a charge pump acting as a polarity reverse circuit, enabling it to be run on a standard 9V center negative adapter and daisy-chained with other pedals. The pedal is designed for temperature stability, buffer-friendly response, and standard power 9V DC operation, making it easy to use on stage and in the studio. Additionally, it offers enhanced sonic possibilities through its combination of controls and a three- position Bass toggle switch for tailoring the low-end response.

The high input impedance and low output impedance make the Solar Bender compatible with buffered bypass pedals, pedal switchers, wireless systems, and modulation and time-based effects. It is suitable for use in various musical settings and offers practical features for pedalboard integration.
