Stone Bender MKII by ThroBak

The Stone Bender MKII by ThroBak is a guitar effects pedal designed as a faithful tonal reproduction of the vintage Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII Professional, famously used by Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. The pedal features three carefully selected, matched, and auditioned Germanium Transistors, externally switchable pre-gain control with an internal pot for customizing pre-gain, and a 9-volt power jack. It also includes a true bypass switch, compact pedal design, socketed transistors, and a 5-year limited warranty.

ThroBak has added several features to allow users to customize the pedal and create their own signature sound. The pre-gain switch enables it to function as both an overdrive pedal and a high-gain fuzz box, providing endless sustain and usable feedback. Additionally, there is a user-adjustable internal bias pot and a Tone Color switch that reduces the treble edge when activated, reminiscent of the tones from the three-knob Color Sound Tone Bender.

The pedal is designed with a powder-coated exterior, Switchcraft Jacks, Teflon wire, silver solder, metal film resistors for low noise and better low-end definition, Mallory M-150 polyester capacitors, and a power LED. It also offers level and attack adjustments, and a 5-year limited warranty.

The Stone Bender MKII Pro is known for its versatility, articulate fuzz tones, and high build quality. It has received positive feedback from users for its ability to replicate the classic Tone Bender sound and its touch-sensitive, inspiring playability.
