Classic Tone Bender-inspired fuzz with a Modern approach.
ModBender takes the legendary three-transistor fuzz architecture that defined some of rock’s most iconic tones and refines it for today’s builders. Using three 2N3903 silicon transistors selected for their lower gain characteristics, ModBender delivers the aggressive harmonic character, sustain, and dynamic response associated with classic Tone Bender circuits while providing improved consistency and reliability.
Unlike traditional tone controls that shape a broad range of frequencies, ModBender features a dedicated high-frequency contour control that allows players to fine-tune the upper harmonic response of the fuzz, allowing players to adjust the balance between cutting definition and a more subdued vintage character.
The onboard bias trim allows builders to fine-tune the final gain stage for the desired balance of sustain, compression, and vintage-style fuzz response. Start at 4.5V on the Q3 collector and adjust from there by ear to find your preferred tonal character.
