A Tonebender MkIII built on vero, with Mullard OC42 germanium transistors, axial MKT and styroflex caps, with controls for Volume, Tone and Fuzz. Finished in a gold hammerite.

A Tone Bender MkIII clone with 2N404 germanium transistors. Built with metal film resistors, Philips electros, axial MKT caps, an orange LED and blue hammerite finish.

Another Tonebender MkIII with two AC128s and one 2N404 germanium transistors. It uses metal film resistors, Philips electros, MKT axial caps and a 0.18uf tropical fish cap instead of the usual 0.22uf. Finished in a silver vein powdercoat with an orange LED and metal knobs.

This is a Tonebender MKIII clone using AC125 germanium transistors. It most closely resembles the early Vox MkIII circuit, with a 0.47uf cap replacing the 25uf cap usually found in the Vox. As well as Vishay caps and BC electros, it also uses big K40Y-9 PIO caps, a 1N270 germanium diode, shielded cable and a white LED with lens. The copper vein powder-coat with clear lacquer finish was done by a local powder-coating company and provides a very durable finish. I’ll be using this kind of finish more often from here on in, with small batches of different colours available.

A Tone Bender MkIII clone built using point-to-point construction on tagboard with three vintage Mullard OC75 germanium transistors. It’s also got tropical fish, Vishay and BC Component caps, metal film resistors and a 1N270 germanium diode. The knobs control Volume, Tone and Fuzz with a blue LED and a silver hammertone finish.
