Collateral FX THE BENDZ

Active ingredient - Silicon and germanium NOS transistors, for classic Tonebender sounds.

Recommended for - Guitarists looking for a high-gain fuzz sound, full of mids, but don't want to deal with the instability of germanium..

The Tonebenders were Sola Sound's response to the Fuzz Face. Their design with an extra gain stage brought a more aggressive sound with more sustain than the classic Fuzz Face - in addition to having smaller input and output capacitors, offering a more balanced tone in relation to the bass, with cutting mids and an almost vocal characteristic - which greatly marked rock and roll and garage rock of the 60s and 70s.

But not everything is perfect - in addition to the huge size, characteristic of pedals from that period, such fuzz units were entirely made with germanium transistors, quite temperamental - varying the sound and noises even depending on the ambient temperature, and operating only with 9v batteries. The Bendz utilizes two New Old Stock (NOS) silicon transistors in its construction, meticulously selected to deliver optimal sonic performance, stability, and reliability for live use. Additionally, it features a carefully chosen germanium transistor, which allows the pedal to be operated with a standard Boss power supply.

The Bendz is a modern reinterpretation of a classic circuit, bringing all the sound and personality that made the Tonebender Jimmy Page and Mick Ronson's favorite pedal - offering a realistic price, the possibility of being used on any pedalboard without resorting to batteries, and without the instability and characteristic noises of this classic circuit. The Bendz is a rock and roll machine and is ready to be allied with your creativity in creating great riffs!
