The JHS Bender is a faithful tribute to one of the most legendary fuzz circuits ever created, recreating the coveted 1973 MKIII Tone Bender while adding the reliability and consistency modern players demand. Part of the acclaimed Legends of Fuzz series, this pedal captures the raw character, touch sensitivity, and unmistakable voice that helped define British rock throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. From classic crunch to soaring, saturated fuzz, the Bender delivers vintage-inspired tones without the unpredictability often associated with original germanium units.

Rather than relying on temperamental vintage germanium transistors, the Bender employs carefully selected modern silicon transistors to faithfully recreate the feel and response of the original circuit while ensuring dependable performance from gig to gig. Simple yet highly effective controls for Volume, Tone, and Attack make it easy to dial in everything from gritty overdrive to thick, sustaining fuzz, while the unique side-mounted JHS Mode switch adds extra gain and a focused midrange boost for cutting lead tones. Whether you're chasing the sounds of Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, The Beatles, David Bowie, or My Bloody Valentine, or crafting your own unique tone, the Bender delivers an authentic slice of fuzz history with modern reliability.
