Get yer beef straight from the steer!


Beef Bender MKII - $100




Raw and dripping with vintage sexy! I used my good old RCA 2N404 transistors that I use in pretty much all of my PNP fuzzes. Only mods are that I changed one resistor to increase the output and used a trimmer to bias Q3. Most people bias these the same as a Fuzz Face but I like to bias mine hotter. I think it sounds more.. uhh.. bendy?

Here's a little clip. Maybe not the greatest clip ever but you get the idea

Looking great, man! Tonebenders and Dizzytones always slay on bread board but once they are boxed they are kinda bleh for me. I don't know what happens, it's a real bummer! My old buzz around was fantastic, wish I wouldn't have sold it. Aching for a good buzzaround or a dizzy these days...

Thanks! I made these vero layouts for the MK1.5, MKII, MKIII, and Buzzaround so I've gotten each one to where I think it sounds awesome

The MKIII and Buzzaround both need leakage from Q3 to sound good

If you want we can build up a pair of Buzzarounds together sometime! I can bring all of the components

Yea, I've never measured for leakage. I've got lots of PNP germs from estate sales awhile back some are NOS and a bunch are clipped leads. They are going to waste right now. Maybe we can build up a small batch and make some Christmas fuzzes!

Do you drink beer? My shop is a little balcony room with big windows and a sweet view. Fun to hang out in. Let me know when you want to meet!

I'm game!

I've got a DCA55 (best fuzzmakers tool ever!) so I can definitely help you sort out your stash.

I love beer and that sounds great! How about some weekend where I have a Saturday off?

Excellent! Maybe sometime in Dec...

Consider me pretty stoked! And uhh, someone just ordered some tagboard!
