Colorsound Supa Tone Bender

Colorsound Supa Tone Bender

The Colorsound Supa Tone Bender is a three-transistor fuzz pedal known for its aggressive, sustaining distortion. Its three controls—Volume, Tone, and Sustain—shape the sound: Volume sets the overall output level, Tone adjusts the high-frequency content from dark to bright, and Sustain controls the amount of fuzz gain and compression, with higher settings producing longer, more saturated sustain. The pedal uses germanium transistors, which contribute to its warm, dynamic response that cleans up when the guitar's volume is reduced. It features a true bypass footswitch for signal integrity when disengaged. Power is supplied via a standard 9V battery or an optional DC adapter, with the battery compartment accessible on the bottom. The pedal is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure with a distinctive, vintage-style finish.

  • enormo-sound fuzz with giant nads.easy to coax all kinds of grinding nonsense with this,but the battery access is a pain in the arse and mine came with a hole drilled for the barrel jack but no connectors for it inside(!) knobs on it aren't the best and the casing doesn't feel very reliable,plus as the gent said before,it's massive and takes up LOADS of space on the board.if you need a fuzz with a good range of tones from foul megabass to rasping trebly grit get a D.A.M. Sonic Titan or a Double Muff.
  • Good Points: Giant sound,looks like intercourse,sturdy footswitch...
  • Bad Points: ...ass casing,giant box(which has hardly anything in it),swallows batteries whole in a matter of days

  • I have had this thing for ages. I Love the sound, great for chords/rythm guitar.Each string remains recognisable. Very forgiving with sloppy technique. Funky harmonics. Lots of character.Not a lot of sustain.I used to use it with a splitter together with staight sound. One trick pony though.Due to mechanical properties I use a RAT nowadays.
  • Good Points: great "balls" sexy porn sound.
  • Bad Points: It's way too big. It's flimsy.The thin sheet metal bottom plate has to be "pried off" to replace the battery. My mediocre soldering has not done it very well. Ruins your dynamics. Tone knob could be more effective.
