The heavy British rock distortion of the late '60s and early '70s without the colour you don't want.
The Colour Bender will surprise you with its modern attention to build quality, noise floors and sensitivity, all the while delivering the classic sounds you've sought for decades. The classic Bender offers two distinct modes - classic wild Germanium distortion of the stock circuit and an adjusted mode that accommodates modern guitars and amps. The classic Tone Bender circuit is in many cases too wild and gainy for modern high-output pickups and higher gain amps, but 65 has made the natural adjustment so that modern players can enjoy the fantastic voice of this classic circuit. Lastly, there is a notch filter or "Colour" switch that allows for a midrange emphasis that really make your guitar jump out of the mix.
Made with Premium Germaniun Transistors and amp parts, not pedal parts, the Colour Bender is a step forward in the modernization and improvement of classic designs. The utilization of amp parts used in all 65amps instead of pedal parts add elements of tone, dynamics and quality that makes the Colour Bender a typically overbuilt 65 product.
If you're looking for the classic '60s and '70s Germanium voice without all the wildness and noise of those old pedals, the Colour Bender will suit your needs perfectly.
