They are updated daily with loads of Pics and info, plus you can better interact with me with any questions.

Be seeing you...

Sounds of Today #1 - Tone Bender mk1

Sounds of Today - a heavily modified version of the Tone Bender mk1 circuit, hot biasing, extra 'drive' control, more output.

More details here.

New FY-2 Prototype

Tiny FY-2/Fuzzrite variant.

Been messing with this circuit for a while now, here is a nice version in a small case.

It's pretty much a modded FY-2 without the mid scoop eq and subsequent volume loss.

Another big difference is the circuit is using PNP Germanium transistors instead of NPN Silicon.

Harbinger #3 for David in Sweden.

Basically a bass heavy Tone Bender mkIII but with no Tone control.

Mind Rocker #8

Mind Rocker #8 for Paul in the USA.

Buzzaround #6

Buzzaround #6 for Matt in the USA.

Mind Rocker/Harbinger dual pedal

Custom order for a Mind Rocker and a Harbinger in one case, built for Mark in the USA.

Basically a modded Fuzz Face, and a modded Tone Bender mkIII.

1965 style Tone Bender mk1 (Ghost Bender #20)

Ghost Bender mk1 for Ken in the USA.

The whole build is based on the style of an original 1965 unit.

Doom Bender #15

This is the first one with new vinyl sticker labelling, it has 3 controls - Level, Drive, and Attack.

This particular one is done on handmade turret board, the rest will be on tagboard.

Dizzy Tone #22 for Mark in the USA.

That's the end of the second run, I will be doing more shortly, get in touch if you are interested in one - info AT ghosteffects.co.uk

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!

Buzzaround #1 from a small screenprinted run.

This one is for Henry Kaiser and is the only one that will have NKT213 transistors (like the original), the rest will have NKT214.
