Montreal, Canada (May 4, 2016) -- Introducing two new fuzz devices to our line of fuzz pedals, the Toe Bender and Supa Fuzz. The Toe Bender is our take on the classic Tonebender Mk2 fuzz pedal. We tried to stay true to the original design, but like all our pedals, we made a few slight tweaks. These are probably the most ‘vintage‐ sounding’ devices in our lineup. Loaded with three select germanium transistors and a NOS Russian PIO tone cap, these guys are full of fuzz, buzz and splat depending on how hard you dig into the strings. The Supa Fuzz is based on the classic and rare Marshall Supa Fuzz. This device is pretty thick & bassy by design, so we tried to stick as close to the original schematic as possible. Killer germanium fuzz in the Tonebender family.
Like all our devices, each pedal is hand‐built and fine‐tuned using a mix of new and old (NOS) parts. All our pedals are tested at proper volumes through a multitude of amps. Every transistor is tested and selected for optimal tone and low noise. Each pedal comes with our custom stickers and a hand‐stamped protective linen pouch.
Features:
- Three select NOS (new old stock) germanium transistors
- NOS Russian PIO (paper in oil) tone caps
- 1⁄2 W Carbon comp resistors
- Hand wired on phenolic tagboard from the UK
- Quality pots, jacks, switches and knobs
- Hammond brand enclosures
- Built with the classic design in mind: 9V battery only
$225 MSRP

“The Player II Series represents our continued evolution in design and functionality,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Product, FMIC. “We listened to the feedback from musicians around the world and incorporated their insights to refine and innovate our instruments. The re-introduction of rosewood fingerboards is a restoration of the ‘original Fender recipe’ and will no doubt be a fan favorite - but we didn’t want to stop there. We’ve also incorporated our rolled fingerboard edges for a broken-in feel, upgraded hardware, and have some new body options as well- which underscores our commitment to providing players and creators with the tools they need to express their unique sound and style. The Player II Series is not just an upgrade, it's a detailed re-imagining of our core silhouettes, highlighting our dedication to quality and the continuous refinement of our instruments.”
Additionally, Player II offers new options for chambered ash and chambered mahogany bodies for the Player II Stratocaster and Telecaster models, which will be available in October. Designed for musicians ready to elevate their craft, the Player II Series sets a new standard for quality and performance in the mid-price range.
