NEW RHODIUM ELECTRONICS TONIBENDER FUZZ MKIII
ToniBender MKIII shown in this picture is prototype no.1 of a serie of three prototypes in order to develop this new version of ToniBender Fuzz MARKIII, following with a super limited standard series.
Limited Gold Edition - Tonibender MKIII Fuzz.
This is the second version of this ToniBender MKIII with a different setup and more of a consistent fuzz tone and sustain, with more of a tonality range and reliable dynamic response for guitars.

The secret to find the tone with this circuit is the amplifier to used.
In this case, the secret of my customer, and better musician, was a recording made with a Valvetone 5 Watt amplifier through a Celestion Vintage 2x10 Cab.
I studied this recording, but the standard circuit is critical, and the original setup five capacitors. He didn’t want to mod it, but I given him the option of cutting a signalled yellow covered resistor leg in the veroboard. Cutting this resistor, the second opamp stage increase more headroom, but making the circuit critical, so, unexpected as the muff fuzz will push into the gain already setup in the amp somewhat.
Valvetone amps are Australian made amps, sometime called EB amps. I did this demo with a Laney, whilst in the new EHX nano version official demo I think they used a Blackstar amp or similar.
One of those preorders that requires the audition of samples and research tone.
This a replica of the Muff Fuzz by EHX in the early 70’s opamp version.
Our friend in the Land of Oz wanted a standard copy of the circuit, which following different resources and genuine pieces as pictured, found it has a five capacitors in it layout.
We tried to replicate this early 70’s commercial version with alpha switch and potentiometer, in veroboard as requested to keep a 70’s minded engineering, and standard Mylar and low ESR electrolytic and Farnell 1N4148 diodes based on opamp NEC Japan c4558c.
TONI-BENDER MARK III Version 1Rhodium 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 a standard gain 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 Version 1
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.

Guitar Demo TONIBENDER Mark iV Compact
Finally decided the same setup 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.

Recently built this preordered Toni-Bender MARK iV with a couple of replicated TONEBENDER pedals with different specs and bandwidth. This is 2/2 and demoed with Solasound Colorsound Wah Fuzz Swell from blues rock to psychedelic flamenco. Recorded with a Fender Stratocaster Japan Series E Kahler tremolo bridge and Laney amplifier.
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.
