Key Features
A legendary tone. The JHS Pedals Legends Of Fuzz Bender presents a sensational recreation of the esteemed 1973 original Tonebender fuzz, one of the most sought-after effects pedals in rock history. All the original circuitry, constructed into a stunning housing that's built for the modern stage. It's crafted with three very special germanium transistors. Meaning you'll experience screeching lead tones that soar through any mix with the classic craziness of the '73 Tonebender. It's this tonal havoc that gave the '73 model its gigantic status. And now you can inject it straight into your performance.
But, with a remodelled design comes fresh features. Including a custom-made JHS 'Mode' switch, which engages a relentless gain and midrange boost, that'll slash through the mix and provide more power in your playing. Whilst cherished by guitar players everywhere, the original Tonebender was often noted for its inconsistency. Luckily, JHS have taken every step to capture its legendary sound and feel, whilst making it more dependable and reliable on the modern stage. Topped off with the traditional 'Volume', 'Tone', and 'Attack' controls, the Bender is simply a must-have for lovers of Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, and David Bowie. There's a reason it sits in the fuzz hall of fame...

A sound that defined decades of rock 'n' roll. The JHS Bender features the exact same circuitry of the original 1973 Sola Sound Tonebender - an effects pedal held in the highest regard by guitar players across the world. What this means, is you can experience the authenticity of the original '73 model, with a construction that excels on the modern stage.
But lets delve into what really matters - the tone. Crafted with three germanium transistors, this unique design flourishes with its 'over the top' craziness and searing lead tone, offering a sound with absolutely no limits on stage. Not to mention its unbeatable sustain and improved consistency compared to the original model, making this one of the most practical fuzz pedals out there. Whether you're performing screeching solos or fatter, low-end riffs - the Bender ensures your tone packs a punch like no other.
Alongside the traditional volume and gain controls, JHS have integrated their own additional switch onto the Smiley to provide even more versatility than the original vintage models. The 'Mode' switch engages a custom-made boost by JHS themselves, sending your tone into volcanic territory and erupting the stage. This is ideal for kicking out complete chaos into your solos, for a more aggressive attack and fatter overall sound. You wouldn't find this versatility even on the original/
Fuzz. It's without a doubt one of the most iconic and widely-used guitar effects in rock music. From the revolutionary licks of Hendrix and Page, to the fat, modern sound and aggressive solos of White Stripes and The Black Keys - fuzz has without a doubt found its place in the heights of rock 'n' roll. But one thing that stands out in the playing of all these artists is that coveted vintage flair.
That's why JHS have introduced the 'Legends of Fuzz' series. Featuring the circuitry and designs of the most sought-after vintage fuzz effects, JHS have taken everything we love about these classics and recreated them for the modern stage. All the tones that defined rock music through the ages - these are the best of the best.
