The last of the original Fuzz Face pedals switched from germanium transistors to silicon at about the time that the Big Muff arrived.
The Muff won that round. If this were the last Fuzz Face it just might have been a different tale!
The layout gives you volume, Fuzz and BIAS. A toggle lets you go for an open or tighter sound.
CONCLUSION
My favorite Tonebender is the MK IV. It was the Tonebenders swansong. Too bad ..The Colorsound Jumbo Tonebender nailed it at it's best! One of my all time favourite classics!
Solidgold pedals did slip in a FET to sweeten the mix.
Like all their Fuzz pedals this one has swagger!!! Love it!
COLORSOUND JUMBO TONEBENDER
A heads up. The cool think about this pedal is it was the last
Tonebender. It was v.4 and had switch to silicon transistors from germanium.
Unless you had a v.3 and v.4 beside each other it is highly improbable that
you would notice any serious difference.
Sorry purists but the big difference by today's standards is that the v.4 is usable in a band and at a gig. It does not decide to take a F-off pill in the middle of a solo!
So... for those that are still with me and would love to own one there is good news.
You no longer have take a bank loan to get a 'dead perfect' clone.
You can buy the Big Knob Color Jumbo for $130.00 USD ...(see my Post)
Watch the video where the guy literally switches back and forth on a tune
without stopping his playing! At the most there is a minor shade of grey difference. But keep in mind two original pedals compared this way would have a minor shade of grey difference.
