Reuss DB-01 Double Bender demo (twin Tonebender mk III circuits)

Casual Reuss Double Bender demo by Terry O'Tool of local Copenhagen band The Warmongers. (Jump to app. 2:07 to hear the switch from the germanium to the silicon mode) The Reuss Double Bender contains two complete fuzz circuits sharing a single set of controls, for a simple and familiar layout. Via the '60s/70s' mode toggle you can switch between a germanium and a silicon transistor version of the amazing sounding vintage Tone Bender mk III circuit. The mark III is my personal favourite fuzzpedal. It sounds fantastic and offers a wide range of tonal options. The tone control does more than just rolling off the high end, and it makes the pedal go from bright mk II tone bender sounds to some very thick and creamy tones resembling a big muff - but much more focused and less muffled and boomy. Featuring both a silicon and a germanium version of the Mark III expands the versatility even further, and having a Reuss Double Bender at the pedal board will definitely cover the fuzz needs of most players. No more need to google 'silicon vs germanium fuzz' before deciding on a fuzzpedal. This one will keep you covered. Inside the pedal you'll find three matched vintage new old stock KRC brand OC140 NPN germanium transistors of 1960s production in the germanium circuit ('60s' mode), and a set of vintage new old stock Motorola 'tin can' BC108s in the silicon circuit ('70s' mode). It's the choice of NPN germaniums that makes this pedal possible at all, because they run on normal polarity (negative ground) - just like the silicon transistors. This makes the Reuss Double Bender 'pedalboard friendly' too. You'll be able to use your normal 'daisy-chain' pedalboard power supply without issues. Vintage NPN germanium transistors are rare, as they were more difficult to manufacture back in the days, so all the old vintage fuzzes were made with the cheaper and more commonly available PNPs. They had reverse polarity, making them tricky to integrate in a modern pedal chain. The OC140s are very rare and desirable (and expensive) because of their wonderful sound in vintage fuzz circuits, and because of the obvious advantages of the NPN properties. I had the fortune of scoring a large batch, and I am personally testing, sorting and matching them for the Double Benders. The Reuss Double Bender is faithful to the vintage Tone Bender mk III circuit, except that I have replaced the output resistors with trimmer pots. This makes it possible to match the outputs of the two circuits - and as a bonus, you can make them go much louder than the vintage pedals (which struggled to keep unity level). ------------------ There's some digital artifacts in this recording, maybe clipping going on at some stage. These artifacts does not come from the pedal. ------------------ Reuss pedals are handmade in the European Union and they are available directly from www.reusseffects.com, Pentatonic Guitars in Brooklyn, Tym Guitars in Brisbane, and in Japan at www.gizmo-music.com
