Analog Noir Electric TONE BENDER Mk I Demo + Review | THE Vintage Fuzz | 50’s Strat & 5 String BASS!


3 NOS Mullard OC76, GET113, CV7355 germanium transistors. The 60’s tones & Tone Bender MkI action, with no mods. Full handmade turret board construction, no PCBs. Find the shortest and most ruthless review below:

Pros:
– rare replica of the original MkI
– the classic unique tone with ZERO mods
– NOS components throughout
– handmade, no PCB
– works on internal batteries
– switch allows turning OFF internal battery or toggling between power sources
– highest quality finish

Cons:
– literally none

Neutral:
– smaller than the original + status LED
– noiseless mechanical true bypass

The Verdict:
One of our favorite pedals of all time. Exemplary. And one of the few pedals that shall never leave us. Worthy of the highest praise. One day, they may not be made anymore (limited NOS components). Do not wait for that day. And do not walk. Run and get one!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the clean amp parts, master volume is turned down to 9 o’clock while pedal LEVEL is dimed! Do not dime the pedal LEVEL into a loud clean amp, or it will get SUPER LOUD, haha!

We use sE Electronics microphones! The T2 is the be-all end-all LDC. From the only TITANIUM sputtered capsule microphone manufacturer in the world. Compact lollipop design (hangs from cab), the 4 polar patterns (all useful), extremely accurate frequency response 20Hz to 20kHz, great transient response and durability make it THE objective choice for us. Nothing else we tried compared to it. Our T2 shall never leave us: one of the best microphone designs in history.
