The Bender Fuzz by TomKat Pedals is a distortion/fuzz pedal based on the Sola Sound Tonebender Professional Mark II. The pedal stays true to the original circuit with a few modifications, including changes to capacitor values for increased low-end response, the use of NOS Germanium transistors, and the addition of an external bias knob for the last transistor in the circuit.
Key features and technical specifications include:
- LEVEL knob: Controls the overall volume with increased output.
- Fuzz knob: Adjusts the overall fuzz/attack, offering a wide range from
dirty to extremely nasty with oscillation.
- Text knob: Changes the bias or texture of the last transistor, providing
options for classic mushy smooth Germanium fuzz sound or louder,
crisper/crunchier tones.
- Works with standard boss style 9vdc negative center power supply and
includes a built-in voltage inverter for safe daisy chaining with other
effects.
- True bypass functionality.
The Bender Fuzz pedal is designed to interact with the "texture" knob, allowing users to achieve various textures and tones. It is suitable for guitarists looking to explore a wide range of fuzz sounds, from classic to more aggressive and modern tones.
