Fuzz Bender Mk I (Red Sparkle)

Our Fuzz Bender Mk I is a recreation of the earliest three-transistor-based fuzz circuit from the Bender family.  This is an immaculate reproduction of a classic pedal, but with a few tweaks for performance and reliability improvements.  The performance of these pedals relies on two essential things; careful selection of premium quality components and fine tuning of the final build, and this is exactly what our focus is on.  For this special run, we have sourced an amazing stock of rare and highly sought after NOS components; some amazing NOS WIMA capacitors, NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, and an array of top grade NOS Mullard and Newmarket germanium transistors.

We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals together.  Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise.  The circuit is also housed in a high quality, professionally powder coated, aluminium enclosure.
