Here is a vintage Vox Tone Bender Mark III made by Sola. This has germanium transistors. This also has the early "upside down" circuit board. This pedal sounds amazing. To the best of my knowledge this would be all original with the following caveat. I am selling this for a friend and my buddy was a fuzz aficianado. When he purchased vintage pedals he had all of his pedals looked over and playing to perfection, so there may have been some parts upgraded over the years but the would be only out of necessity. This one, I'll admit, is a little touchy when you turn it on. If you press your foot in the right position it will do you right. Sometimes you have to just push down a little on the knobs and it kicks back on. That is a long way of saying that sometimes it is intermittent. My thought is that it is an easy repair in the right hands. I am selling this for his family and trying to sell things in AS Found condition. What a great sounding pedal though.
