D*A*M Forum

People keep talkin' about me, baby. Say I'm doin' you wrong, well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry, mama. 'Cause I'm right here at home. David, how many variants of the Tone Bender MKIV are you and Danny actually going to make? Yes.
You know you love it. Cool new project 5.9!! The Joker. Fuzz pedals in disguise, A Batman style MKIV tuned with the aggressive sonic majesty of the ESOTGB.

The sonic qualities are as I mention on the ESOTGB page - a healthy midrange punch, excellent tonal projection, outstanding dynamic qualities with lusciously rich fuzz tones akin to pushing butter into your ears. And so forth. The transistor selection consists of three of the magnificent NOS Mullard OC82D. Do we have the worlds supply of these things? Probably, yes. A truly marvellous device made by one of the greatest names in semiconductor manufacture. Assisting these devices in their cosmic task are other such components of equally high quality - Omeg, Vishay, Cliff, LCR and BC components. In a nutshell, vintage muscle fused with modern day precision of tone, longevity and reliability.

There are 25 pieces in the project in total, thus far, (numbered #000 - #024) with all units being assembled by Daniel Lee Tunstill. All set-up procedures, transistor selection, final testing and inspection are carried out by myself.

Extra special thanks to Electric Warrior for his amazing nerd skills in the execution of the graphics!! It's the first time I've seen these newer Batman-style MKIV enclosures and they are truly a thing to behold.

Not as yet I'm afraid...you'll have to use your imagination for now...

A photograph of Uschi Digard would make a good visual representation. You can do your own research on that to come to your own conclusions.

Additional eye candy.

Lovely looking pedal inside and out!!!

Looks incredible Dave and Danny. So many variants to collect I’m losing track as usual. Would love to buy one of these.

Dave do you or could you put together a family pic of all the variants of the MKIV you have done so far. Do you keep Any? I always wondered that if you sent all of them to Ant?

Are you doing a Different Yellow “Hit It” Bender?

Beautiful!

The Heinz period - 57 varieties.

I only keep reference pedals when there is a requirement to do so from a construction point of view, I don't keep any from the small batches that we've done. Though, I'm pretty sure Ant keeps one of each.

I think the 'Hit It' MKIV's are all designated for use with Jake's Hybrid design.
