Bender Fuzz
The JHS Bender Fuzz is a modern recreation of a true icon in the world of fuzz pedals - the legendary Sola Sound Tonebender. Designed by the visionary Gary Hurst in 1965, the Tonebender forever changed the sound of rock and roll, giving guitarists a raw, untamed tone that pushed the boundaries of their instruments. The Bender captures the essence of this historic circuit, using carefully selected silicon transistors to deliver the touch, feel, and response of the original germanium design, but with improved consistency and reliability. With its flexible Volume, Tone, and Attack controls, the Bender allows you to sculpt a wide range of fuzz tones, from smooth crunch to all-out aggression. But the real magic happens when you engage the "JHS Mode" - a never-before-heard feature that boosts the gain and midrange, sending your leads soaring through the mix. This mode also introduces a dynamic gating effect, responding to your picking attack for a truly expressive, touch-sensitive fuzz experience. Whether you're chasing the fuzzy tones of Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, The Beatles, or My Bloody Valentine, the Bender has you covered. It's a tribute to six decades of beautifully broken sound, putting the power of history-making fuzz at your fingertips. Plug in, turn it up, and unlock a new world of sonic possibilities.
