The JHS Bender 1973 London Fuzz is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic fuzz tones in history, inspired by the 1973 MKIII Tone Bender circuit. Designed to capture the raw, singing sustain and thick midrange punch that defined early British rock and psychedelic sounds, the Bender delivers vintage authenticity with modern reliability.
Hand-built using high-quality components, the JHS Bender features three germanium transistors to faithfully replicate the rich harmonic content and smooth saturation of the original Tone Bender units. Its controls for Volume, Attack, and Tone allow a wide range of sounds, from classic gritty fuzz to soaring, violin-like sustain. The Tone control adds versatility, enabling both bright cutting tones and darker, bass-heavy fuzz textures.
True to JHS’s reputation for pedalboard-friendly designs, the Bender offers vintage sound while maintaining consistent performance in modern setups. Whether you are chasing the sounds of early Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, or crafting your own expressive fuzz tones, the JHS Bender is a powerful tool.
Fully tested and in excellent working condition. A must-have for fuzz enthusiasts, vintage tone chasers, and collectors alike.
