The JHS BENDER - Legendary, or Lame?

In 2020, JHS Pedals released their "Legends of Fuzz" series, featuring four pedals that charted the evolution of fuzz tone. In this video I take a look at their take on the legendary "Tone Bender" pedal which was first released in 1965. The Tone Bender was used by many great players, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Paul McCartney (for fuzz bass), Mick Ronson, Dick Taylor (The Pretty Things) and countless others. Here are the links to some videos that I mentioned during the course of talking about the JHS Bender. Oh, and by the way, I paid for this pedal myself.
