“Custom Shop” Germanium/Silicon Fuzz Bender MkII

This is a custom version of Fuzz Bender (MkII Pro).  The toggle switch on the right hand side swaps the third transistor for an early Mullard OC202 silicon transistor.  This reduces the noise floor rather dramatically, and makes the tone a bit brighter and snappier.  The second toggle switch has an impact on the pedal’s bias; in the up position, the tone is quite buzzy and bright.  Flip the switch to the down position and the tone becomes much smoother and a tad darker producing a classic Bender tone.

This is a very versatile version of Fuzz Bender, and with the two toggle switches and the bias pot, it gives access to a wide palette of fuzzy goodness.  Also included is a toggle switch on the back for disconnecting the internal battery without having to unplug the pedal.  The pedal is housed in a premium GØRVA enclosure in Chameleon finish.

Please note: these custom pedals are not available regularly, and are only built when components are available and when time allows.  Please contact us for further information on availability.
