Description
The JMI Tone Bender MKIII is a modern recreation of a legendary fuzz pedal that shaped the sound of rock music in the late 1960s. Renowned for its distinctive, raw tones, this pedal is a favorite among purists and modern musicians alike. The MKIII stays true to the original design while incorporating subtle enhancements for today's players. It features three germanium transistors, providing a rich, warm fuzz that is highly responsive to your guitar's volume control. These transistors deliver a smooth, musical distortion that can be adjusted to suit both classic and contemporary styles.
With its intuitive control layout, the MKIII offers a simple yet versatile approach to dialing in your desired fuzz sound. The pedal includes knobs for volume, fuzz, and a tone control that offers broader sound-shaping capabilities. This makes it easy to go from a thick, woolly fuzz to a more defined, cutting tone, perfect for a variety of musical genres. Hand-wired and featuring true bypass, the Tone Bender MKIII ensures your guitar's natural tone is preserved when the pedal is not in use.
Whether you're a vintage tone enthusiast or a modern player seeking that iconic fuzz sound, the JMI Tone Bender MKIII delivers with authenticity and character.
Key Features:
- Three germanium transistors for authentic vintage fuzz sound
- Hand-wired circuitry for superior tonal quality
- True bypass switching to maintain guitar signal integrity
- Control knobs for volume, fuzz, and tone adjustments
- Faithful reproduction of the original 1960s Tone Bender design

"And this a Tone Bender Mark Three. It's a reissue that they made... I don't know, in England at some point. I just saw it over there and that was always, like, the My Bloody Valentine bass sound. And then I found an original one, so I don't need the reissue anymore."
