Classic germanium Mkiii 3-transistor fuzz with massive tonal control

The history of the 3-transistor fuzz is storied and colorful with many makers and iterations. EHX submits its chapter in the story as the Bender Royale fuzz! A take on the Mkiii version of the vintage germanium-based circuit, the Bender Royale takes the splendidly saturated sound of the original and opens up a world of fuzz tones from thick and smooth, to brash and sputtery. If you're into trashy, ripping fuzz or big, fat saturated tones, the Bender Royale will get you there.

The original 3-knob control set can be found in the VOL, FUZZ, and BASS knobs. VOL controls output, FUZZ adjusts the input gain, and BASS acts as a passive bass frequency going from full wool to a tightened bass response.

Leading the outfit of the modern upgrades is the massive FAT switch which adds a massive bass and low-mids boost to your tone. The CLIP switch changes the clipping structure of the final germanium transistor stage. Switching the transistor's biasing diode from Ge to LED makes for a rougher and rowdier edge to the tone. The Bias control takes the fuzz from smooth to sputtery, adjusting the overall voltage of the circuit. The TREBLE is an active treble shelving filter used to rein in high frequencies. Employ the BLEND knob to mix clean signal back into your sound to retain attack and clarity.

The Bender Royale features mechanical true bypass switching with a soft footswitch that employs latching and momentary action. The pedal comes equipped with a 9 Volt battery and accepts a standard EHX 9 Volt power supply.
