The Bend-R Mk I is a faithful recreation of the legendary MkI, the fuzz circuit that started it all. Housed in a rugged Hammer Grey Hammond B3 enclosure, this build delivers the raw, primal fuzz tones that shaped the earliest era of rock.
At its heart are rare NOS transistors, carefully selected for authenticity and tone:
Q1: Valvo OC71Z
Q2: Valvo OC71Z
Q3: Valvo ASY32
The result is fuzz with the perfect sag, compression, and sustain, making every note bloom with vintage character. The Attack control offers a wide and musical sweep, from spitty, gated textures to roaring sustain.
Bold, expressive, and uncompromising—the Bend-R Mk I captures the essence of one of the rarest and most sought-after fuzz circuits in history.
