What is a tonebender MKII? Watch Jimmy Page demostrate:

It is honestly one the best if not THE BEST tonebender at this price range and its 95+% similar to my more expensive D*A*M, Pigdog and Castledine Tonebender MKII. (As you know the D*A*M would cost you US$500+)
It sure beats my old Lumpy Tone Shop, Ramblefx twinbender and other benders. Alot of the cheaper benders at this range just can't get the original bender sound as its hard to tune a 3-transistor circuit.
The transistors are 2 x AC12* and Matsushita 2SB324.
But Roman (from Manlay) picks transistors by ear and its really well tuned.
"The Super Bender is the third addition to the Manlay Sound line up. We simply called it “Super Bender” in honor to the Sola Sound “Tone Bender MKII Professional” and the Marshall “Supa Fuzz” of the late sixties. Both models shared the same circuit. Supposedly, the MKII was the fuzz pedal that Jimmy Page used with The Yardbirds and on the first couple of Led Zeppelin albums. Without a doubt, it’s one of the greatest fuzz pedals of all time. The “Super Bender” recreates the same MKII circuit. In its guts there are three germanium transistors which are hand selected and tested for optimum sound. The sustain is endless and the tone is awesome. Lots of shades of distortions can be achieved with the Super Bender: from almost clean to pure brutality, just at the touch of the volume of your guitar or the “attack” control."
Condition is excellent with no obvious dings/ nicks.
Comes with box and manual
Asking S$230
Non negotiable for it price. Thanks
