I got a few bucks for my birthday last week and since I had to sell off a bunch of pedals recently I couldn't think of anything better to buy.  I had a hard time deciding between a basic Rat clone, tri knob Muff, and this.. ultimately I realized I've had a bunch of Rats and Muffs in the past (Green Muff currently) so maybe something a little different is in order. It should be a nice project after I finish my mosfet boost and un-rehousing my Big Muff 


anyone familiar with Tonebender MKII's?

they are meant to sound great.....a friend used to own a colorsound Tonebender and it was really cool sounding!

HAve fun building it... I'm also tempted to get another BYOC kit and was thinking about getting the same one 

looks like I'll have to buy the kit as he cancelled my order and is no longer selling PCB's only.. I guess I shouldn't have been able to select it but apparently he missed something. oh well

That sucks. I hate it when stuff like that happens. It's kind of like when you order one part from GPR and they send you a different one

or the thing you ordered doesn't work and they won't reply to emails and ban your ebay account for simply asking for an exchange..

ooops there I go again 


boy I've got the luck eh?!

I think he was just out of the PCB's, they are back in stock now.

odd

Yeah, I ordered the Tremolo kit Sunday or Monday and I tried to order the MK2 and it wouldn't let me add it. So I wrote him and he said they were out and would be back in stock today.

well that's good to know.. thanks for the update 

No problem, I will report on here once I get mine and make it. I am going to take my time and do it right, I say that every time and I always rush it though. I just want the paint to look fantastic. I know how I want the Tremolo to look but I have no idea on the MK2.

yeah that's always a tough decision.. I was going to do a silver hammer finish with black chicken head knobs sort of like the originals, I thought that'd look pretty nice

Tonebenders are great. A friend of mine's got an original SupaToneBender - it's far out, still
pretty contoured, even on chords, unlike a muff. I have a FuzzKing that is built by the guy who
invented the ToneBender (Gary Hurst) that is a little different in design (Fasel Inductor), and
it sounds like the old ToneBenders (I A/B'd it to my friend's one). If the clone sounds just the
same, you will have LOTS of fun.
