MK2

VARIANTS-

hybrid + GE MK2 demo here https://youtu.be/xD-Rq3MAS8A?si=meOL5ibAN32qimhN

Hybrid

First two stages are germanium, the last transistor is silicon for extra bite, treble, gain, and volume. this version is tuned for heavy forward treble and mid treble bite!

has a switch to remove the 1st gain stage for a smoother, less gritty 2 transistor drive.

GE MK2

a very special, extremely fine tuned MK2. All germanium, with a bias, and a switch to remove the first gain stage.

Tuned to squeeze every drop of germanium fuzz out of this box.

When I say tuned, I mean literally, specific resistances were chosen to match the germanium set in this box to ensure they perform at their highest potential.

The Twilight MK2 is a tone bender that reaches into a new world of vintage rock and roll fuzz like you have never heard.

What makes the tonebenders so special?

I have been studying tonebenders for years. I have spent entire days experimenting, only to be unhappy with the final result.

I feel like I have finally uncovered the secrets of the tonebender after all these years. This specific one took me 3 days to build, why? because the real knowledge is knowing that the tonebender is a ballpark of sounds. People are constantly wanting the one that sounds like the ones on classic recordings they have heard, but the truth is, those tonebenders had their own unique voice that is extremely difficult to replicate.
Each one comes out different- it took me a long time to get it to even sound good in the first place, now I can get them to sound good, but its a matter of searching for the right mix of components that allows it to be "the one".

This one, is tuned to be loud as hell. This one is meant to push your amplifier into oblivion. It is still a fuzz but I wanted to create one that was somewhat overdrive like, so that it could clean up really well on certain settings, with the guitars volume knob.

The MK2 is the tonebender variant famously associated with zeppelin and Jimmy Page's sound.

This one has an added bias knob in the center to get a wide range of fuzz textures from loud, germanium overdrive, to smooth and crunchy fuzz, all the way to broken and gated sputtery madness.

This one also has an LED indicator mod, and a battery snap & holder to allow for internal battery use. It also has an external DC jack added in case you want to use a power supply- you can have the battery inside and when a external dc jack is inserted, it disconnects the battery so it does not drain. Be sure to unplug the jacks when using a battery as leaving it connected will drain the battery when not in use.
