FUZZ BENDER .
$65.00 USD What do we get? Well the first thing is it comes in a large metal enclosure very closely resembling the original Tone Bender. The layout is Level and Gain. A toggle is labeled Mod and Original. Apparently it goes from a v.1.5 to a v.2.
CONCLUSION ___
Critics will be angry and call it a v.4 Fuzz Face or a Big Muff. That all said and done it does not mean it will not give a very strong faux germanium voicing. JHS has
done that exceptionally well.
What I hear as a Fuzz lover are the traces of a silicon sound. Keeping in mind I am looking for it, lol.
That said if stacked on a MIAB pedal it may
well complete the perfect illusion, 😇
The serious good news is the price!!!

I am leaving this note just a day after posting this review.
...the last time every player on the planet wanted to read about a new pedal on my site was whenBill Finnegan said he was going to bring out a new Klon. This post has 5 times more of you
guys reading it than normal. My guess is if you do not buy this pedal ASAP you will wait
a year to get one!!!
I am leaving a second note a couple of days later.
It is a couple more days later and the amount of traffic to read about this pedals has
gone from WTF to stupid, lol
Thomann are taking deposits. They literally say on the post...
'Available in several months.'
How does it compare with the Warm Audio?
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot cheaper, LOL. Anything else will be subjective. A Fuzz Face is as slightly modded Tone Bender 1.5 so the average player that loves a Hendrix tune finds the sound pleasing. This will sound pleasing, LOL. It is cheap so it will sell an obscene amount.
ReplyDeleteI expect it was not the pedal dept at Behringer that designed it but the Electronics Dept. They do a killer job on making cheap clones of very pricy classic synths for keyboard players. They also did the Behringer VP-1 Classic Phaser a dead perfect clone of the Electro Harmonics Small Stone. They even cloned the casing so the pedal looks identical.
The E-H sells $500 used. Guys that still play the old Fender Rhodes piano ALL have an original because it is an always on pedal. When a poll was done they found the only difference was reported by a few guys that had both pedals is that the original is a bit more noisy. Rhodes guys now leave their $500 E-H at home.
