History (Extract Copied from BigMuffPage):
1973 - Tone Bender FUZZ 'tone control' version on market. By Sola Sound of London, circa 1972-73. The same silver enclosure as the circa 1970-71 Sola Sound Tone Bender Fuzz, but this version featured a simplified V3 Big Muff circuit rather than the Tone Bender MK III/IV circuit. The only visual difference between this and the standard Tone Bender Fuzz enclosure was the word TONE instead of TREBLE and BASS under the tone knob. This three transistor circuit was also used later in the 1976 Colorsound Jumbo Tone Bender. There was a Tone Bender Fuzz reissue made in the 1990's that used a version of this same simplified Big Muff circuit, but the case was marked TREBLE and BASS like the earlier version instead of TONE.
Jim Boogie’s Comments:
This is fuzz for days… warm, creamy fuzz and a brilliant, more affordable reissued version that came out in the 90’s. Similar to other tonebenders, I like to pull back the fuzz control and push the volume control to overdrive a valve amp… that’s where the magic happens for me. If you turn it up loud enough some say you can communicate with other dimensions.
