This 2025 DAM Macari’s Tone Bender MKII is a boutique recreation of one of the most legendary fuzz circuits ever created, built with extreme attention to vintage correctness and tonal authenticity.

Produced by DAM (Differential Audio Manifestation) for Macari’s in London—the historic home of the original Tone Bender—these pedals are widely regarded as some of the most accurate and best-sounding modern interpretations of the classic MKII design. This example comes complete with the original box and certificate of authenticity.

Tonally, the MKII circuit delivers thick, harmonically rich fuzz with powerful sustain and a distinctive vocal midrange that slices through a mix beautifully. At lower guitar volume settings it cleans up into gritty, textured overdrive, while opening the volume unleashes saturated fuzz with endless sustain and complex harmonic overtones. The pedal is extremely responsive to picking dynamics and guitar controls, making it feel almost like an extension of the instrument itself. It excels for classic rock, blues-rock, and psychedelic tones while maintaining excellent note definition even with heavy fuzz.

This example is in mint condition and performs exactly as it should, offering boutique craftsmanship and authentic vintage-style fuzz in a collectible, beautifully built pedal. It’s a fantastic choice for players chasing the unmistakable sound heard on countless iconic recordings.

As with all gear at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and evaluated for condition and performance.
