Fuzz 432 Rhodium Electronics SoloTono

Fuzz 432 Rhodium Electronics circuit SoloTono series. Based on legendary Solasound Coloursound Fuzz circuit part of the Jumbo Fuzz Wah Swell pedal.  

 

One control knob fuzz with two BC167B silicon transistors, old school biased circuit, excellent guitar tone and frequency range and dynamic response.

Selected pair of matched silicon BC167B transistors with hFE 432/432, biased circuit with internal bias potentiometer built in PCB and audio grade electronics. Battery free pedal. 

Rhodium Electronics Classic Fuzz Prototype

This Fuzz classic silicon Fuzz-Face layout with mods by Roger Mayer is built with BC109 transistors. This model was a summer 2020 pre-order, a low cost silicon version of the Band of Gypsys recently launched on the market. Our customer wanted to try ordering us a pedal, instead of buying the new band of gypsys pedals on market. 

We did our best to research about the sound from these three concerts and developped our own version of the sound from this album of Jimi Hendrix, following the different layouts, and using transistors from our own stock, instead of the MPSA silicon transistors used from famous brands, which are very high gain, but noisy and have a different frequency response than our unpredictable BC108 / BC108B / BC109 collection of silicon transistors.  

 

 

During the days this preorder was received, we were developping a few ToneBender MK IV pedals, but finally decided to attend to a profesional studio with our latest Fuzz Silicon version. 

 

After the Jimi's Fuzz didn't replicated any other silicon transistors fuzz, and this unit sound so good, so had to change the plans, contacted Camden Records in Camden Town, London. They contacted to Javier Amaya, current guitarrist of The Grudge, and absolutely a Stoner Metal Master. The demo was recorded in the evening and enjoyed a lovely time exploring different sounds an settings with the Orange amplifier, and custom Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster guitars.

Thanks to this preorder from Terry, our customer, guitarrist Javier Amaya loved our silicon Fuzz BC109, so we decided to make a small run of Band of Gypsys pedals and gift to the guitarrist, and friend with a special version of this pedal in hammered sparkling red and white knobs.

 TONI-BENDER MARK III

Rhodium Electronics Fuzz ToniBender Mark III. This is a small run and have no logo, there only few units available online, as per ToniBender MKiV been tweaked to allow using contemporary germanium transistors.

 

Rhodium Electronics take on the VOX Tone-Bender MKIII lately modified by Solasound according to different biasing for MKiV and Batman versions, which them been prototyped by Rhodium Electronics in London. 

Biased according to gains hFE 60/60/80; setup with very low leakage vintage soviets transistors and a selection of audio grade electronics components.

Tone-Bender Mark III version is more of an early rock vintage sound, with more of an unitary gain and more guitar volume control and stable tonality range.

 

TONI-BENDER MARK IV 

Tone-Bender Mark IV is more of a consistent fuzz, higher output gain than previous version of the Tone-Bender Mark III. 

It responses very good when roll off from guitar volume knob, so these very low leakage germanium transistors been biased according to standard specifications, but still can not clean signal up as per a Fuzz-Face or Tone-Bender MKIII circuits.

Messing around a Telecaster Japan Squier 90’s and TONIBENDER Mark IV with Mullard OC81. Finally decided this setup for assembling our latest fuzz prototype.

Messing around a Stratocaster Japan Squier early 80’s and TONIBENDER Mark IV with Mullard OC81. Finally decided this setup for assembling our latest fuzz prototype. Hope you like this demo and follow us!

 

 

Finally decided to use Mullard OC81 for the third transistor, as per the book, so I didn’t want to spend time to setup a bias, lucky we had a few transistors for testing this circuit.

Loved the responses with Mullard OC44 OC71 and OC74, finding sonic treble that didn’t come up with other transistors. So, smashing job! Achieving a right good FUZZ TONIBENDER MARK IV.

  RangeMaster Treble Booster Texas Ranger Cesar Diaz w/ BC167B silicon version

 

The title said everything, but nothing about the modification, a bespoke pedal on a budget. Texas Ranger modification by Cesar Diaz of treble booster RangeMaster, modded to BC167B transistor silicon nPn circuit layout built with a local builder PCB and wired up according to Texas Ranger circuit, modded with a four ways rotatory switch for input impedance, and biased for mentioned transistor, taking it to the fuzz point at maximum gain. Crystal, transparent and clean, pretty similar to treble booster anyway, just the rotatory switch, only request. Recorded with iPhone 6 and playing the cheapest zebra pups Epiphone slash version. Laney amp and the Bullfigther by Rhodium Electronics.

FUZZiE by Rhodium Electronics. Attenate NoiseLess Fuzz. FUZZface - like FUZZ

FUZZiE is a model of Fuzz for guitar cloned to solve usual problems, when connecting your legendary FUZZface, with a rig of buffered and true bypasss pedals, either in a cascade configuration or daisy chain powered pedals.

FUZZiE attenuates guitar signal to can used with buffed pedals, and true bypass wah pedals also, in any order or configuration. Therefore, it requires an input buffer, or buffered input pedal previuosly. In fact, FUZZiE is not the first pedal of your rig, instead of setting as per the legendary FUZZface DALLAS ARBITER, depending on the true-bypass or buffered Crybaby wah. FUZZiE can be set up even in the modulation path, creating great sounds in combination with phaser or flanger effects.

FUZZiE is powered to 9 Volts negative center. FUZZiE is noiseless. FUZZiE is a clone of the legendary FUZZface DALLAS ARBITER, anyway, FUZZiE is a FUZZface-like FUZZ.
