Fuzz Bender
A 5-knob hybrid silicon/germanium fuzz with an active gyrator EQ and a Bias control for shaping attack and decay.
About this pedal
The Fuzz Bender pairs high-gain silicon and vintage Japanese germanium transistors with a pair of gyrators acting as an active EQ, giving up to 20dB of boost or cut at 100Hz and 10kHz. Its Bias control reshapes attack and decay, ranging from fat square-wave fuzz to glitchy, gated textures.
