Super Electric Continental - Fuzz Pedal Vox Tone Bender

The Super Electric Continental is a re-creation of the classic Vox Tone Bender fuzz which uses two carefully selected germanium transistors (SFT308 & OC76). It's based on an original 1967 grey Vox Tone Bender (see pic), which I used as a reference.
The original is a particularly good sounding unit, nicely balanced between smooth and raunchy and perfectly biased, with just enough of the raspyness these pedals are famous for without it being over-bearing.

Care was taken in terms of transistor gain selection, in order to perfectly match the original's particular tonal characteristics. The Continental is also fit with a 2-way tone switch which allows for more low end if required. There's also a useful battery on/off switch, so the input jack can be left plugged in without draining the battery. An additional Bias control has also been added for some extra versatility.
Like the original, it's powered by a 9v battery only with no LED.
