GMRspares MK1 Tone Bender Clone NOS Germanium AC128/AC128/AC188 Fuzz Pedal

GMRspares MK1 Tone Bender Clone NOS Germanium AC128/AC128/AC188 Fuzz Pedal

A unique handwired clone of a Gary Hurst Tone Bender MKI. Using two AC128 and one AC188 NOS Germanium Transistors picked specially for this pedal. There will be only one quite the same. True Bypass and built using the GMRspares Miniature Tagboard.

What is the GMRspares Miniature Tagboard?
Most mid 60's electronics were made utilising point to point hand wiring. Many high end boutique pedal makers use tag board meant for amplifiers which is to large to fit in a smaller more practical pedal size. I decided to make my own based on the same principles and from materials freely available in the era. Taking inspiration from Leo Fender I decided to use Vulcanised Fibre board as he did on his pickups and amplifiers. This means I can miniaturise the tag board design to fit in a smaller case whist keeping the same components. No PCB's or Vero board. Just point to point hand wired goodness.
