Tonebender Fuzz?

[ireidt]

I am new to the forum so first off, I am Isaac, a bass player in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.  recently I have been wanting to modify and build pedals mainly to save money.

I have been wanting the Coloursound Tonebender Fuzz for a while now ( not the MKII this one Here   )

I was wondering if that pedal is the same one as the 3 knob tonebender schematic at Tonepad.com 


Thanks guys,
~Isaac~

Its hard to say without a crystal ball as there is no information or schematic as they are selling the pedal not giving away information.......

Plenty of 3 knob tonebenders here http://fuzzcentral.ssguitar.com/3knob.php just get a breadboard and see which one you like the most 

PS welcome to the forum

ya was thinking I was gonna go the breadboard way and just try it but thought I would ask first. the one I linked is the same one the bass player in Tool uses and keeps the low end in the mix soooo welll...too bad it goes for around 300 

and thanks

sorry about the double post, but I think I found something.  On another forum I visit ( talkbass.com) someone took apart a 1970's version of this pedal.I can see the circuit board, but no schematic <_<  Oh well, one step closer!

Edit: found schematic but no part list

hiya, the tonebender from your first post uses silicon transistors. theres one in Dragonfly's excellent layout gallery

The current reissue is actually a reissue of the Jumbo Tone bender from the 70's.  The schematic is around. It's basically a Big Muff with one set of clipping diodes and the last transistor stage removed.
