Williams Audio MkI Tonebender

Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!

This is one of my favourite fuzz pedals I've ever played. Another creating from Nick Williams of Williams Audio, this is a super-accurate replica of the earliest of the Tonebenders....the MkI. It's super raunchy and takes no prisoners, but once you tame it, it'll be a friend for life.

Like the best Germanium fuzz pedals, it cleans up very well with the guitar's volume control - and that really is the key to getting the best sounds out of this thing. With it wide open, the fuzz will gate and splutter - but back off on the input slightly, and you get infinite shades of glorious fuzz, all controllable on the fly.

...and like all of Nick's pedals, the build quality is impeccable :-)

What do you think? One of the best fuzz circuits ever made? Or are you more of a Fuzz Face/Big Muff person?? Comment below!

Guitar is a 1992 Fender MIJ Tele with a Monty's '53 bridge and Bare Knuckle Flat 50 neck pickup; recorded through a Hughes & Kettner Puretone (Celestion AlNiCo Gold; Aston Spirit Condenser & 70s MD441) and a Dr Z DB4 (Celestion AlNiCo Cream; sE RNR1 Ribbon) with a Schoeps CMC6 room mic.
