FUZZ- GREUTHER AUDIO Star Bender ...impressive Tone Bender Mk3 clone

GRUTHER AUDIO
Star Bender . 
$290.00 USD
It is a Tone Bender Mk3. I bought one 9 years ago that uses all NOS original parts. It is all but totally unusable as it has every problem associated with Germanium Transistors Fuzz boxes. 
I will never sell it but I am always busy with the music I play live 
and with 66 pedals on my board it is enough to get the best 
out of them.
The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and BIAS. 
           CONCLUSION ___
The Mk3 is near Overdrive like which made it a big hit 
when it came out but over time the biggest is Mk2 & 
Version one. This one is excellent but at nearly $300 
it is a bit much for most of use. 
Check out my Post on the Tol Red Germanium Fuzz
based off of the Mk2 it uses MNOS parts,looks killer
and best of all it is only $130.00 USD. I have one. 
I love it!!! If it was $400 I could believe it. 
In a year or two it could be, it gives you what you
expect for $400.
