FUZZ- PAUSE & EFFECTS Filos... Tone Bender MKIII ... NOS parts, priced low

 PAUSE  &  EFFECTS   
$65.00 USD
Filos   Tone Bender MkIII
These pedals are made by Attila. A guy in Hungry who has a day job in IT. He does several old school classics. Being in Hungry finding NOS Soviet era stock of old parts especially germanium transistors in small quantities is 
not an issue to keep his nearly invisible part time biz floating. The unit is thru hole PCB construction. Basically old Boss MIJ Waza Craft tech. 
The layout is Volume,Tone and Gain. 
     CONCLUSION ___ 
I find zero to bitch about. the construction is old school durable and dependable. All the outside connectors are attached to the enclosure too. Even without a hands on this would be a bargain others would want around $200.00 USD. This in the NUX, Joyo pricing for a handmade.

  2. This Mk III sounds the best but the few videos available are very weak in content and in sonics. They sound like they could have been recorded from nano mic in a laptop or cell phone.
    If I recommended a budget Fuzz I would recommend the Joyo Big Tiny Huge. it sounds like the Tone bender v.4 which is a silicon Fuzz and at $40.00 USD it is priced well. If you wanted an impressive germanium Fuzz the re-issue Fulltone '69 MkII. however it is $200.00 USD, but it is killer.
