As Behringer continues their out-of-time odyssey of aural homage, the Fuzz Bender emerges to quench your thirst for iconic classic-rock fuzz and ferocity, with a tone-crafting twist that supercharges your sonic setup without compromising the 1960s character you crave. To capture the foundational magic of this era-defining fuzz, Behringer — after heaps of research and analysis of the Fuzz Bender’s pedal predecessor — outfitted this psych-rockin’ stompbox with all-analog circuitry, powered by a pair of vintage-style transistors that have Music Experience’s sound hounds enamored by its accuracy and versatility. Between its superlative signal path and rugged tour-grade chassis, this period-precise pedal has all the fixin’s of seminal 1960s fuzz flavor. However, Behringer saw an opportunity to expand the aural aperture of the Fuzz Bender’s latent potential: a Custom Bias Mod switch. In the 6-o'clock Original position, you’re seizing the ‘60s sound by the horns, but in the noon-facing Mod position, a whole new world of harmonically complex sonic-contouring capabilities unfolds, elevating the history-making tones to a sustain-rich echelon of stoner rock, doom metal, and wall-of-noise-worthy wonder. With delightfully transparent true-bypass switching, the Behringer Fuzz Bender is a musically imaginative take on a time-tested classic that methodically balances heritage and haymaking heft, making it a must-have addition to pedalboards, powering palettes of myriad shades of fervorous fuzz.
Of the many guitar effects that’s synonymous with rock, fuzz has to be at the top of anyone’s list. It’s been a genre staple since the 60s and has been the basis of many flavors of distortion to this day. But here at Behringer, we’ve always been about bringing it back, old-school and we’re doing that with the Behringer FUZZ BENDER
FUZZ BENDER was made to recapture those classic rock tones that started a revolution in music with its all-analog circuit. The super-simple control layout of Level and Attack lets you set the output volume and amount of fuzz while the custom mod switch toggles between the original circuit and a modified version with different harmonic content.
Play around with the controls and you can get a nice tone with a bit of hair that responds to your pick attack, to a nice velvety sound that works great on single-coils or humbuckers. Another great way to play with FUZZ BENDER is to just max out the Attack knob to get a really aggressive fuzz sound that has a ton of sustain for all your Stoner Rock and Doom Metal needs.
Whatever guitar, amp and pedal combination you have, the FUZZ BENDER can easily make its home in your rig and give you all the legendary tones you’ve been searching for, or give you new ones you never knew you wanted.
