Prescription Electronics Yardbox 2003 • Fuzz Face / Tone Bender clone • Rare Purple finish • MINT

Ultra rare Purple metallic 
Prescription Electronics
YARDBOX Germanium Fuzz 
Tone Bender clone.  

Named Yardbox for Jeff Beck's tone in the YardBirds which was a
Vox Tone Bender fuzz. 

Nails it perfectly. 
Prescription is no longer in business so these are going up and getting harder to find. 

This is one of only 4 purple finished ones ever made. 

Maggie the Cat not included. 

Enjoy. 

From Audiofanzine review:

Germanium fuzz pedal, analog copy of the TONEBENDER Mk2. 9V battery or power supply, box very solid, the knobs are solid, it's heavy ...

UTILIZATION

4 knobs that interact. The sounds are transformed according to what other positions have. This is a pedal that takes some time before identify all the sounds you want.
I have no manual but hey, I have two ears .... and incidentally a brain ...
I is not "perfect" because I'm more the type to prefer pedals minimalist ...

I play with a jazzmaster and a bandmaster reverb Silverface ....

SOUND QUALITY

enter the heart of the matter!
Fuzz really typed 60's, the logo says it all, Beck, Yardbirds, TONEBENDER, ... It has a really vintage fuzz that captures the sounds of yesteryear. We believe in live! It can also become really violent by coupling it to an overdrive. I stayed on my ass so the pedal becomes aggressive. Beautiful, hard to stop.
The knobs are volume, gain, fuzz, treble / bass.
The gain is automatically made in volume. If you know the tone benders, they have only two knobs, which offers a range of sounds, I think unrivaled with so few buttons. However when you need to mount the volume knob, the sound also rises so it can become difficult to operate while. That is why the yardbox, this button acts as a gain can master and turns the volume knob to the bottom without deafening. Very convenient.
The sounds you can have is (roughly): all the Yardbirds, the maestro fuzz garage, kind, led zep, iron butterfly (in-a-Gadda-da-vida), the western spagethi, ...

I had a fear because after reading tons of articles on the tone bender pedals which was to boost the treble amp in very dark britons of our friends. I play on a fender bandmaster reverb Silverface of 73 and I was afraid of finding myself with a fuzz that will cut like a scalpel, the eardrums .... But fortunately not all is well, sounds of thunder ...

OVERALL OPINION

Well I'm hot hot, I've had two days but it must be that I play over 48 hours. Components will melt I have to make a break .... I leave a very long time big muff (Sovtek green army, and the standard) so it changes me a lot and I am extremely pleased.
The only downside is the number of buttons but after a good use we made it. For the sound quality it delivers, I classifirait this lack of "detail".

I play in a garage band 60's (The Revox) and this pedal is perfect. I wanted to pay me a DAM TONEBENDER (damn the price!!) But hey, this yardbox to cross my path and I thank ...
The quality is there for you and the price is really honest.

!! I recommend this pedal to anyone looking for a vintage 60's fuzz typed!!
