From the vendor
The second (more famous) version of the legendary fuzz pedals from Macaris in London that changed the music world forever.
Project description
The Deimos Fuzz is a clone of the Colorsound / Sola Sound Tone Bender Mk. II, originally developed and sold by the legendary Macari’s music store in London in 1966.
The TB Mk II has a lot in common with the Fuzz Face and other germanium fuzzes of the 60’s, but it adds a transistor stage in front that increases the gain and moves it beyond the overdrive/distortion realm of the Fuzz Face.
The Deimos project is identical to the original Tone Bender Mark 2 except for a couple of enhancements. First, a voltage inverter circuit has been added so you can use PNP transistors with a standard 9V supply. Second, it includes trimmers to more easily dial in the optimal bias voltage without having to swap out resistors.
