The Colorsound Tone Bender Distortion, one of the lesser known Tone Benders – which also happens to be a recent D*A*M collaboration with Colorsound (Macari’s Music), who released a faithful reproduction using original circuit boards after some were found in a basement.
More information can be found on the D*A*M forum which is a very handy source of information for all things Tone Bender. Just don’t go asking for advice, it’s not really a builders forum from what I can tell.
The Colorsound Tone Bender Distortion is more overdrive bordering on distortion than bender – there are zero similarities between a MKI, MKII or MKIII bender and this beast.
SCHEMATIC
This is probably more like an overdrive than a distortion, as the diodes are soft clippers
Gain @ 100% – Tone pot sweep
Tone control is a variation on the classic big muff
