FUZZ- VOX VFZ-1 ___NEW ___Tone Bender mk. 1.5 clone, sort of ???

VOX VFZ-1 FUZZ

$150.00 USD

It looks cool with its old school sloped top folded metal enclosure.

The ToneBender 1.5 was sent to dealers as a Version 2 even though those dealers were already selling V.2 models. It was a BETA testing thing and it was very soon discontinued. It resurfaced with a couple 

of mods as the Fuzz Face. Then VOX phoned and wanted a VOX 

Fuzz made. They got the 1.5 and a new enclosure.  

The layout is Volume, Tone & Gain. A toggle removes the tone 

another is a bass cut.

    CONCLUSION __

The original uses Germanium transistors. This uses Silicon. 

They are honest enough to admit it so this is not a case of cashing in in the VOX name. They have made an effort to  

tinker with the voicing to create a faux Germanium sound.

The bottom line is it is its own thing. The price is fair.

Love it or save your coin.

The video is also pushing a VOX version of the Rangemaster Treble booster

The video is an overproduced one minute wonder that tells us squat.

NAMM is on so we may yet get something worth evaluating from 

for both pedals.
