The Marksman

The Marksman - British Bender: The Sound of a Revolution

The Marksman is a tribute to the legendary and rare MK1.5 Tone Bender, a cornerstone of the 60s British Invasion sound. Tuned more true-to-vintage than the Faceless Fuzz, this pedal captures that classic squishy, mid-focused, ripping fuzz tone that sounds like your amp is about to explode.

Key Features:

• Vintage-Inspired Circuitry: Meticulously crafted to replicate this iconic circuit and it's authentic 60s tone.
• Selected NOS Germanium Transistors: Hand selected vintage transistors deliver the unique character and harmonic complexity that made the original so revered.
• Internal Dip Switch: Toggle between "Fat" and "Tight" modes to fine-tune your sound. Fat mode delivers a thick, saturated fuzz, while Tight mode offers a more focused, cutting tone.
• Responsive Clean-Up: The Marksman responds beautifully to your guitar's volume knob, allowing you to dial in a wide range of tones, from sparkling cleans to overdrive and full-on fuzz. An internal "Clean" trim pot allows you to pre-set some amount of this and can help with noise and when placing a wah wah before the pedal.
• Road-Ready Design: Carefully selected high-quality components in a compact, durable, and powered by standard 9V DC power, the Marksman is built to withstand the rigors of the road.

The Marksman is a must-have for guitarists seeking a versatile and authentic fuzz pedal that captures the golden age of rock 'n' roll. The perfect compliment to the Faceless Fuzz!

A word about transistors – the heart of this circuit:

Each transistor type imparts its unique character to the sound and feel of the fuzz. Refer to the Transistor Info FAQ in the top menu for details on different types of transistors. Prices may vary based on rarity, with new options as they are available.
