Awesome sound

This fuzz just sounds great. I used it through a Vox AC4HW with an old 57 ri strat and found it to be a little too bright. I switched guitars to another strat with Alnico 2 pickups and the combination sounds heavenly. Great fuzz.

Got lucky to get one MK IV with 3 mullard transistors and this thing is out of this world! Couldn´t find bad tones with it! It´s huge, it´s carnivorous, brutal. Immediately happier when turned it on!

Fine sounding FUZZ

I'm ancient and have been a fuzz guy since I first heard Shapes of Things in 1966. The Sunbender Mk IV is my favorite fuzz ever (and I've got LOTS of fuzz!). Thanks Analogman. What a cool sound.

Best MKIII/IV I have played.
November 3, 2015
Reviewer:

I gravitate towards fuzz that is clear, articulate, and cleans up - a good Fuzz Face or MKII. The MKIII/IV Tone Bender with its darlington pair and aggressive dense tone is not the type of fuzz I normally like. And I have tried hard to like them - I have owned a bunch including the best of the best, or a least the most expensive ones the U.K has to offer. But I sold them all. So the Sun Bender was one last shot to see if there was one out there I could dig. Well . . . I dig it! It is the best of the lot by far. Of course, it still has that aggressive 70's thick fuzz but it is still somehow articulate. It is hard rocking but with a twist of the fuzz knob I can get some cool Faces tone out of it. It doesn't really clean up but that is not really the point of this genre of pedal. The usual trebly harshness or out-of-control bottom that I have heard in other pedals is here replaced with musicality, touch sensitivity, and a perfect balance across the tonal spectrum.
