TONAL BENDER

Handcrafted Tonal Bender Dual-Mode Fuzz Pedal – Classic Tone Bender Inspired Fuzz with Modern Versatility | Made in Australia

The Tonal Bender is more than just a fuzz pedal—it’s a meticulously handcrafted tribute to some of the most iconic fuzz tones in rock history. Inspired by the legendary Sola Sound Tone Bender™ MK1.5 and MKII, this pedal captures the rich, saturated fuzz tones that defined players like Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, while adding modern enhancements for today’s demanding guitarist.

Switch seamlessly between two distinct fuzz circuits: the MKII for a thick, roaring fuzz with endless sustain, perfect for intense solos, and the MK1.5 for a smoother, more dynamic response that cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob. This is not merely a reissue; it’s a thoughtful blend of the best of both worlds, taking inspiration from rare and revered pedals like the Ramble FX Twin Bender.

Key Features & Components

• Dual Circuit Modes: Toggle between MKII’s bold, aggressive fuzz and MK1.5’s dynamic, touch-responsive tones, giving you instant access to two timeless fuzz flavours.
• NOS Germanium PNP Transistors: Featuring hand-selected, New Old Stock Germanium transistors that deliver unparalleled warmth, texture, and that unmistakable vintage fuzz feel.
• Socketed PNP Transistors: Easily experiment with different Germanium Transistor types. Simply swap out any of the three socketed transistors for a personalised tone.

• Socketed Voltage Inverter: Compatible with standard 9V DC power supplies (centre-negative), so you can easily daisy-chain it with other pedals.
• Fat/Stock/Mids. Toggle: Switch between three tone settings—Fat for enhanced low-end richness, Stock for classic fuzz, or Mid’s for an extra push in the mix.
• Impede Control: Adjust input impedance to retain clarity and tone even when paired with buffers, Wah pedals, or wireless systems—ensuring your fuzz is as pure as possible, no matter the setup.
• Bias Control: Fine-tune the bias to achieve your perfect fuzz tone, adjusting for different environments or simply to explore new textures.
