Here’s four different versions of the DAM Fuzzsound, all of which are a mix of the MKIII & MKIV Tonebender.
From the captain:
Fuzz Sound MKIV (used to
be badged as the MKIII) Basically a pimped out version of the Tone
Bender MKIII and MKIV but with more tonal scope, more muscle and packing
space age features.
First up, a few quick words on the differences between a Tone Bender
MKIII and a MKIV. They do both use the same circuit blue print if you
will but there are subtle and noticeable differences to each pedal in
the tone department. Without over complicating matters, as I do what to
get to the point, the Sola Sound made MKIII and the MKIV basically sound
of their time. The early MKIII’s sound fuzzy and choppy, later MKIV’s
sound smooth and distorted. Then there’s a blurry line in the middle.
Basically the biasing evolved to the point that the pedal became more
overdriven than fuzzy. Ya know, I guess, to suit the needs of Musicnauts
of the day.
The FS-75 is the blurry line in the middle and some. It’s not a direct
replica of either but the flavour I have gone for is an all out balls to
the wall, big hair, big boobs, fat cars, fast food, dirty denim, dirty
hippies, 8-track stereo cranking, 3-D glasses rocking fuzz tone. To
quote, its: “1970 rollin’ in sight”
Btw, yes it does bass
