Warm Audio WA-BEND Warm Bender Fuzz – analog guitar effect pedal recreating classic British Tone Bender fuzz circuits. It combines two vintage germanium designs with an additional modern silicon circuit, delivering a wide range of tones from classic to aggressive.
Three selectable fuzz circuits
The pedal features three distinct modes: NOS 76 for cutting, forward tones, NOS 75 for warm and full-bodied fuzz, and a Silicon mode for tighter, more stable modern character. Each mode uses a different circuit topology, allowing precise tonal matching to various rigs.
Classic controls with SAG response
Warm Bender keeps a traditional control layout with Level and Attack knobs controlling output and fuzz intensity. The SAG switch simulates voltage drop behavior, producing compressed, gated and vintage-style fuzz textures typical of aging analog pedals.
