Warm Audio Warm Bender – Selectable 3-Circuit Tone Bender-Style Fuzz Pedal

OVERVIEW

The Warm Audio Warm Bender brings together two of the most iconic British fuzz circuits ever created, along with a modern silicon variation, in a single pedalboard-friendly format. Inspired by the legendary MKI and MKII Tone Bender designs, the pedal delivers a wide range of tones — from cutting, aggressive fuzz to thick, saturated, vintage-style warmth. Whether you’re chasing classic rock textures or pushing into more modern distortion territory, the Warm Bender provides a versatile palette of expressive tones.

“It’ll take you straight to the world of mid-60s British blues rock leads if you need, with good amounts of sustain – but there’s also a surprising amount of clarity when digging into some chords… It eats up bluesy licks and stompy riffs in a way that makes it obvious why the sound has stuck around for decades.” — Guitar.com

At the heart of the pedal are carefully selected NOS Germanium transistors, including OC75, OC76, and SFT337 units. These rare components are rigorously tested for performance and authenticity, ensuring the pedal faithfully recreates the character of vintage fuzz circuits. Combined with premium carbon resistors, film capacitors, and true through-hole construction, the result is a rich, organic sound with exceptional dynamic response.

Modern enhancements like the SAG control allow you to starve the voltage for the sought-after “dying battery” effect, adding compression, grit, and touch sensitivity. With intuitive controls and multiple circuit options, the Warm Bender delivers everything from articulate rhythm tones to roaring riffs and searing solos.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Three Distinct Fuzz Circuits in One Pedal

The Warm Audio Warm Bender features two authentic Tone Bender-style circuits (NOS 75 and NOS 76) plus a modern silicon option, offering a wide range of classic and contemporary fuzz tones.

Authentic NOS Germanium Transistors

Loaded with rare OC75, OC76, and SFT337 Germanium transistors, each unit is carefully selected and tested to deliver true vintage tone and performance.

SAG Control for Voltage-Starved Tone
