The Fulltone Soul-Bender (often referred to as Soul-Bender v2 or SB-2) is a handcrafted germanium fuzz pedal that captures the raw, iconic spirit of the late-’60s Colorsound and Vox Series III Tone Bender circuits—famously wielded by legends like Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page for searing, harmonic-rich leads—while adding modern refinements for consistency, usability, and epic performance.Built around three carefully gain-matched NOS germanium transistors (custom-spec’d TO-1 style), this three-knob beast delivers fat, thick, sustaining fuzz with explosive even-order harmonics, aggressive bite, and a searing lead tone that cuts through any mix like a hot knife. Unlike stock vintage Tone Benders that can sound shrill or inconsistent, Fulltone refined the Tone control for a wider, more musical range—full clockwise yields smooth, rounded warmth, while dialing it back unleashes that classic aggressive snarl.Key features include:•  Volume, Dirt (fuzz/gain), and Tone controls for dialing in subtle grit to full-on walls of saturated distortion.•  Exceptional volume-knob cleanup—roll back your guitar’s volume for creamy overdrive textures or near-clean sparkle, making it incredibly dynamic and expressive.•  Improved biasing on the third transistor (v2 upgrade) for consistent, “epic” performance across every unit—no more temperature-sensitive quirks or unit-to-unit variation.•  True bypass switching with Fulltone’s ultra-reliable 3PDT footswitch and LED indicator, preserving your core tone when disengaged.•  Hand-built in the USA with premium components for low noise, durability, and that organic, alive germanium character.•  Runs on standard 9V battery or adapter (center-negative).Whether you’re chasing vintage psychedelic rock leads, classic British invasion crunch, or modern high-gain fuzz with vintage soul, the Soul-Bender excels at responsive, touch-sensitive fuzz that rewards playing dynamics and stacks beautifully with boosts, overdrives, or amps on the edge. Plug it in, crank the Dirt, and let the harmonics sing—your tone will bend souls.
