Discover the Ultimate Fuzz Machine
Step into a world where vintage fuzz meets modern versatility with the Warm Audio WarmBender. This pedal is not just a tribute to the iconic British Tone Bender fuzz pedals; it's an evolution. With two selectable circuits based on the legendary germanium transistors and an additional silicon circuit for a contemporary edge, the WarmBender is designed to make your guitar sing through any mix with ease. Whether you're pushing a clean amp into glorious saturation or sculpting the perfect solo tone, this pedal delivers.

Classic Controls with a Modern Twist
The WarmBender simplifies tone shaping with its intuitive two-knob layout, featuring Level and Attack controls reminiscent of the original NOS 75 and NOS 76 Tone-Bender-style pedals. The Level control adjusts the output, ensuring your effect sits perfectly in the mix, while the Attack knob dials in the fuzz's distortion and sustain. A unique addition is the rotary Version switch, allowing you to select between the analog circuits, and a SAG switch to experiment with starved voltage effects, offering a palette of sounds from subtle to extreme.

Germanium Goodness and Beyond
At the heart of the WarmBender are NOS germanium transistors, carefully selected and hand-tested to ensure they meet the high standards required to faithfully reproduce the complex tones of vintage Tone Bender fuzz pedals. The first two positions utilize these transistors to deliver everything from a biting two-transistor fuzz to a rich, three-transistor warmth. For those seeking a modern flair, the third position introduces a silicon circuit, blending traditional fuzz with a modern, distortion-like character.

SAG Control: Unleash Starved-Circuit Tones
The innovative SAG control on the WarmBender invites you to explore the unique, touch-sensitive tones reminiscent of the original Tone Bender pedals at the brink of power starvation. This feature allows for an expressive range that reacts dynamically to your playing, from clean, mid-gain breakups to sputtering, fizzing fuzz.

Three Distinct Voices for Versatile Fuzz
With settings for NOS 76, NOS 75, and a modern Silicon mode, the WarmBender offers a spectrum of fuzz tones. The NOS 76 setting cuts through with aggressive, bright fuzz, while the NOS 75 mode provides a thunderous, smooth bass and fat fuzz tones. The Silicon setting, a nod to modern preferences, offers smoother sustain and natural compression, making it a versatile choice for various musical genres.

Built for the Road
Encased in a custom enclosure with a hammered metal powder coat finish, the WarmBender is as durable as it is visually striking. This pedal is built to withstand the rigors of touring, ensuring that it remains a staple on your pedalboard for years to come.
