Seeker Electric Effects BEND AC125
$379.00
IN STOCK
This small batch uses a pair of NOS Tungsram AC125 Germanium transistors loaded into the new Lineage Series custom folded metal enclosures!
BEND is based on the rare MK1.5 Tonebender, a lean and mean cousin to the Fuzz Face with ripping Bender textures, extra midrange punch and sparkly guitar volume cleanup.
The MK1.5 Bender is as a unique transitional fuzz, sitting timeline wise between the MKI and MKII, but sharing a schematic design more similar to the FuzzFace. Besides a few key component value changes, the biggest difference in BEND from a FuzzFace comes from using two leaky transistors, giving it a more gnarled texture and a more agressive attack and overall tone. BEND is built using the MK1.5 Bender schematic with a custom designed PCB and two matched Germanium transistors. External controls for ATTACK (Fuzz amount) and LEVEL (Volume). Internal controls for INPUT gain and BIAS give you a couple extra tricks to dial it in for your setup. INPUT trim will reduce the signal hitting the fuzz, tightening up the low strings and cleaning up the fuzz overall. All the way down is “stock”, all the way up is almost cleaned up to an overdrive. Feel free to experiment with this control to best match you guitar/amp and the sound you’re looking for. BIAS will sweep between blasted blown out nasty fuzz, to a smoother “properly biased” sound, to thick and gated and everywhere in between. Ships with the “optimal” bias pre set but you’re welcome to experiment! BEND is also louder than stock, able to push volume well above unity gain. NOS Germanium transistors, NOS capacitors and carbon film resistors.
Like the rest of the Lineage Series, BEND is true bypass with an LED indicator, and uses a center negative power jack, or can be powered by a 9v battery.
Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!

We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
