The circuit is a modified version of the 1965 Tone Bender mk1.

Sounds of Today - Tone Bender mk1

'Sounds of Today' mk1. Prototype for a screen printed run of a version of the Tone Bender mk1 circuit with an added 'drive' control.

The extra control lets you back off the 'fizz' of the fuzz tone, back it off further and the mk1 turns into a dark fuzzy overdrive.

The 'Bias' control is the 'Attack' control on the original, I decided to rename it!

Supa Doom Bender mk1

5 control Supa Doom Bender mk1 for Patrick in the USA.

The extra controls let you alter the sound of the modified Tone Bender mk1 circuit, can do all sorts of mk1 style tones including making the mk1 sound more like an overdrive!
