Glider Tone Bender MKIII (Circle Electric)

The Glider MKIII is based on the Vox Tone Bender Mark III from 1968.

Details:

Although originally released in ‘68, the Vox MKIII is most famous for its prominence in the shoegaze scene on the late 80’s and early 90’s. Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine uses it regularly.

I tune mine to replicate the tones from the original units. With tight and cutting attack and flowing sustain. The Glider has three usable controls for Volume, Fuzz, and tone. I set mine to have a wide reaching Fuzz control and a tone control that can go from a fat and warm woolly fuzz to ear piercingly bright and nasty and everything in between.

The Glider MKIII is a incredibly user friendly and versatile fuzz great for anyone who wants a one-stop-shoppe kinda thing.

What’s Inside:

• Built onto authentic Vero board
• Vintage new old stock and/or salvaged capacitors intentionally selected for quality and tone
• Vintage new old stock and/or salvaged resistors hand selected for performance and aesthetic quality from a mix of vintage Allen-Bradley, Piher, Iskra, and others.
• 3 carefully matched vintage germanium transistors. Transistors are hand selected by me through a rigorous tuning process. Transistors are chosen based on how they perform in the circuit. I tune all my pedals with integrity to be as close to the originals as possible.
