Square Wave BD Fuzzbender 2025 - Green

Square Wave BD Fuzzbender (TB MKI)

A premium interpretation of the legendary 1965 MkI Tone Bender, meticulously crafted for players seeking authentic vintage germanium fuzz tones without compromise.

At the heart of the circuit are carefully selected Philips 2N1307 germanium transistors, renowned for their warm response, rich harmonic content and musical compression. Combined with high-quality NOS components—including vintage ERO and Philips capacitors and carbon composition resistors—the result is a fuzz that captures the character and feel of the finest original British units.

Unlike many vintage-inspired fuzzes, the Square Wave BD Fuzzbender has been voiced to reduce excessive gating while preserving the touch sensitivity and expressive dynamics that made the original Tone Bender famous. The result is a thick, singing sustain with exceptional note definition, equally at home with soaring lead lines, classic blues-rock phrasing and aggressive vintage riffing.

Hand-built using true point-to-point construction, the Fuzzbender delivers outstanding reliability, signal integrity and long-term serviceability. Premium Alpha potentiometers provide smooth and precise control, allowing the pedal to move effortlessly from articulate low-gain textures to powerful vintage fuzz saturation.
