The Super Electric Continental is a
re-creation of the classic Vox Tone Bender fuzz which uses two
carefully selected germanium transistors. 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.
Like the original, it's powered by a 9v battery only.
* Please note: the original Vox Tone Bender is pictured for reference only, and is not for sale.
Features:
* Controls for Level (volume) & Attack (fuzz)
* 2x germanium transistors (SFT307 & SFT323)
* 2-way tone switch
* Battery on/off switch
* Powered by 9v battery (not included)
* Cliff (UK) jacks
* True-bypass switching
* Pedal size (65 x 120mm)
* Silver hammerite finish * Hand-signed and numbered with an instruction sheet and 3 year warranty
Each pedal is shipped in a white cardboard box by registered post with a tracking number.
