Two vintage fuzz circuits in one!
Twin Bender uses the same circuit of Sola Sound's legendary Tone Bender™ MKII Professional that Jimmy Page and many others made famous. The first time you engage Twin Bender you'll know why the Tone Bender circuit is the holy grail of fuzz. It's an explosion of harmonics and infinite sustain that melts into feedback.
Twin Bender has a long list of features that make it the most versatile and user friendly Tone Bender available. The MKII Pro/MKI.V switch makes it two 'Benders in one. MK1.5 mode uses one less transistor for less fuzz. The 'impede' (impedance) mini-knob allows Twin Bender to be used after a wah, buffer, wireless, etc., something that most vintage fuzzes cannot do very well. It also has a built-in voltage inverter, bias control, and relay-based true bypass switching.
