Nice to hear someone pull off the fuzzy blues tones. A lot of people don't have the hands for the blues licks all fuzzed out. You did great
I would love a good analog fuzz
Good demo.
You should play some Hendrix
The plastic around the jack is insulation for better electronics
I like how the kept the classic pedal look
I was waiting for a gutshot before buying – I used to design and build pedals, and that includes many recreations of old fuzz boxes, and I was suspicious that Warm could build so many of these and at such a low price.
I understand that the Chinese are producing large numbers of these components in generic capsules
to be marked up as required by the purchaser.
I have used hundreds of NOS germanium transistors including lots of OC75's and I have NEVER seen an unmarked OC75. All the ones which I have used have been black painted glass enclosures with OC75 printed on the outside. the whole point of such components is that they can be easily identified.
The ones in the OC75 Warm Bender look to suspiciously me like the later replacement for the OC75 – the AC128. These are far more common, and I have seen these in unmarked metal enclosures. They don't have the rarity and 'vibe' of OC75's though!
In my opinion these are what we are seeing in this pedal.
Saying all this, by far the most important factors are hfe and leakage rather than the number on the outside when it comes to germanium transistors.
The Tone Bender didn't have a tone control until the mkiii version, which is not as good as the mkii.
At least he's highlighting a pedal that costs more than $50…p.s.JHS BENDER FUZZ.
Beautiful sound …I kept looking for the train though the nos …..then the other nos …numbers to remember !?…arriving at platform 333333 or 333 something ? For all y’all trainspotters ….the original tone bender was super easy ,,,,,,you trod on it .
Like your demos and chops tho .
Brilliant demo better than andertons
Damnit Shane here i go buying another pedal because of you lol.
Great job again Shane! You can’t have too many fuzz pedals. I bounce around with the several I own, seem to find my way back around to the Joe B Fuzz Face mostly. The sag switch explains how the 1970 song The Sprit in the Sky got that tone. I’ve come close with my old Morley Fuzz Wah by turning down the voltage. Always enjoy your discoveries.
Great demo and playing.
Sounds good ..but think I will stick with the JHS Tone bender.. good demo though????????
Great opening jam as usual!
Nice demo Shane – still not a fan of Fuzz pedals though ????. But you're right, they have that Tone Bender look about them and good on them for adding extra iterations of versions into the pedal. Although at $325AU, I'd be more likely to knock one up on vero board for $20 in parts LOL
Although it would be interesting to hear this through a full stack Marshall ????
Hello Shane. I've been listening to many of your videos where you have used your new Kiesel thinline. I also listened to your review of it. The pickups in it are so different that I think it greatly affects how pedals and amps sound. Some pedals and amps that you demo won't sound the same when others buy them and use them with conventional equipment. Maybe you could use it sparingly or always demo gear with a different humbucking pickup guitar just before or after using the Kiesel. This is just something to consider.
Even if it wouldn't fuzz, just the looks ????
Hi Shane thanks for another well put together Demo.
I am a Tone Bender fan. This one certainly captures a faithful range of Bender sounds.
I like the original germanium three trans Mk1 Benders and have a Klinger Mk1 Professional Pedal, based on that circuit.
It has mods and adds a tone control and a Bias/Sag knob instead of the switch. It does have a switch and gives the option of a FZ1/Fuzztone sound as well.
Gives me the sort of sound I like.
Cheers
Pete
Warm Audio has a lot of hype but i personally don't see anything special in their products. This pedal sounds good with gain around 12 o'clock and the guitar's volume rolled down but when you go past that setting it sounds really muddy.
Sounds awesome!!! ????????????????????
I’m learning that the key to great fuzz tones is the subtlety of the volume and on the guitar.???? This Tone Bender sounds like a fun fuzz pedal to play around with. ????????✌????????????
at last a person who can play fuzz palm muting chord voicing single lines 5 and octaves just watched a totally embarrassing video from andertons your to you tube sound is the best i have heard its stereo has room sound and alive not some close mic thing go watch danish pete make this thing sound bad
Great demo and that's a great sounding pedal!!!
Sounds decent enough, and must have some neat tricks in the box to be this versatile with such a primitive circuit. Doubt it’ll do much for Tonebender aficionados though. Seems to lack the unpredictability, sizzle, crackle and raw 60s note decay that makes a bender the playing experience that it really is.
The Rhythm reminds me of The Cars. Great demo!
Nice pedal ,Shane. I will stick with my Behringer Superfuzz.
Shane have you got thee new Ringbringer pedal ?
I bought both from Andertons today They had them but weren’t listed on there site until after there video went live.
I'll keep my Keeley Fuzz Bender. You did a very good review of this pedal.
Thanks Shane????
How can it be a faithful recreation when it's so different? That makes little sense ????
