The BYOC E.S.V. 2-Knob Bender is quite
possibly the sweetest MKII Professional
Tonebender clone you can get. What makes
the BYOC E.S.V. 2-Knob Bender so "extra
special"? We started with a redesign of our
PCB so that it would fit the larger axial leaded
capacitors and carbon comp resistors and
made the layout look nice and pretty. We
wanted the E.S.V. series to be aesthetically
appealing on the inside (the outside is up to
you!). We also made the solder pads and
traces as beefy as possible. Thicker traces
mean better signal flow. It also makes the PCB
virtually indestructible and makes soldering a
breeze.
The next thing that makes the BYOC E.S.V.
2-Knob Bender special is the component
selection. We used the highest quality and
coolest looking vintage mojo parts we could
muster up - carbon comp resistors, Vishay
aluminum electrolytics, and Mallory axial leaded
film capacitors.
But the heart and soul of any Tonebender is its
transistors. It is extraordinarily rare to find NOS
components of both quality and quantity
because over time they get sold, sorted
through, put back on the shelf, sold, sorted
through, put back on the shelf, and sold again,
until you start scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The transistors in the E.S.V. series 2-Knob
Bender are the most exquisite examples of
Philips OC75's we have ever seen. They come
from the original factory sealed boxes,
untouched by human hands for nearly half a
century. We have a very large quantity of
these and it is this unique find that actually
inspired the E.S.V. series. Each E.S.V. 2-Knob
Bender kit comes with a hand selected set of
transistors, all baring the same batch code.

E.S.V. 2-Knob Bender (extra special vintage)
|
So does any of this actually produce a superior sounding pedal? Tone is such a subjective thing, that we don't
want to sell this product by saying that it sounds better than a similar circuit made from garden variety
components and common germanium transistors. But we can say that the parts in this kit cost a little more.
And if you don't mind paying a little more for the very best, then you will not be dissappointed with the BYOC
E.S.V. series 2-Knob Bender.
Transistor Guarantee If you aren't happy with the quality of the germanium transistors you receive in your fuzz kit, you can return them and we'll send you another set. No questions asked. The return transistors must be unsoldered and and unclipped so please use the sockets and test them first before you cut them. Please contact sales@buildyourownclone to get a return authorization before shipping.
