Sola Sound Tone Bender OC140 “Yellow Hybrid“

This Sola Sound Tone Bender is in Very Good Condition. This pedal does show minor wear due to normal use. No Box or Paper Work with this one. This pedal has the OC140 Transistor, very full sound. These are hard to come by and are no longer made.

Additional info. From Sola Soud:

A few years a go , a prototype hybrid Tone Bender turned up from our genius in residence Jake Rothman. He had taken our regular TC Tone Bender and somehow made it work with a combination of silicon transistors and some germanium NKT 214s and a germanium diode . The result was jaw-dropping - a tone bender with the sizzle and sparkle of our much loved TC but with the throaty transparency of a nasty garagey germanium unit.

Since that day the yellow Tone Bender has turned up in various guises but the one we loved the most housed a black sausage shaped OC75 - this was the one Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine bought , then returned the next day for four more , saying , this does something no other fuzz pedal does !!!

But now , in 2016 , the pedal is totally perfected and actually carries a serial number ! Jake has found a great batch of OC140s ( basically reverse polarity OC75s ) and this had enabled him to add a regular power supply input plus an LED on/off indicator , whilst retaining that sound that we're so smitten with.
