British Pedal Company Vintage Series MKI.5 Tone Bender - Fuzz

Often known as the 'mythical fuzz' due to the very few original examples which exist, the MKI.5 Tone Bender was produced in 1966 and it was the first Tone Bender pedal that featured the iconic grey hammerite aluminum casing. The British Pedal Company MKI.5 Tone Bender from the Vintage Series is a detailed replica of this exact version. The MKI.5 features a different circuit than the earlier production MKI and consists of a 2x OC75 transistor circuit. At the time of production one of these rare fuzzes managed to find its way into Abbey Road Studios and was pictured being used by George Harrison of The Beatles.
