20 minutes of self indulgence with Barrie Cadogan , Ant Macari , a 56 Esquire a 59 Burst and a bunch of Mk1 Tone Benders - many thanks to Bigger bang productions
Have played extensively since 1987. I just got into Tonebenders recently and can truly understand the love for these. The hype is real. Headed down a rabbit hole. Nice video, Ant!
The video is right on the money how these are the original and best fuzz ever. Bought one immediately but I want all of them! Once you hear one live fuzz megalomania is on. Will change your life...
Thanks for the sonic trip through time with the mighty Tone Bender! Although, I don't think the recording gave us quite the same feeling as being there in person. Better to just work hard, save and search out a Sola Sound MKI reproduction by David Main.
Great video! I got the Level&Attack book which is awesome if you're a Tone Bender fan. Unfortunately I can't afford your MKI, but I got Tim Cooper's Faceless de Sade. I like that he's also building a Colorsound pedal (Trem-Fuzz).
we've been over this before - the Arbiter Fuzz Face was copied from a version of the MK1.5 that existed much earlier than the Fuzzbugs. Also, with three known surviving examples so far, it's hardly a "prototype"...
SandalwoodBros In my experience Esquires are wired as such - 1. “Bridge” position - tone control bypassed. 2. Middle position wired with tone control. 3. “Neck” position adds a capacitor that’s rolls off treble.
depends which pedal u go for - our fuzzes start at £ 125 and go up to £ 750 ish ( shipping to the USA is £ 22 - The ones here are the high end ones - but check out the Macaris website - more demos and stuff there :)
0:20 I didn't know anyone else reacted this way when hearing a tone bender. Glad I'm not alone.
I did the same thing at the same time he did it. It's never happened before. It's like a miracle.
I almost missed that because I was aping it up like crazy.
I can honestly say as a former citizen of Kalamazoo, thank you Macari’s for being such a great home for many guitars.

Never mind the tone bender I want those trousers!!
These all sound incredible. Thanks for doing this whole mki build properly. That pigdog build is calling my name!
Such fun. A classic way to spend 20 minutes mucking around with a load of boy's toys. Thanks for recommending Dave.
what a great video for us, gearheads! tks guys
Thank you for this Historic video !
Really awesome! Can't afford one but build one myself. They all sound a bit different, but all music to my ears! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this Ant, brilliant stuff!
Wow amazing video!! Thank you 👍👍
I’m here for the “nerdy Tone Bender action” 🤓 ~psycho*daisies
You should send all these to the new channel!
When you were talking-up the fancy-pants model I was thinking "this pedal better be bloody good" then he started playing and dear lord it was sublime!
What a great video. Thx
The D*A*M version sounded quite lovely... primitive with loads of sustain.
shame more of it didnt make the edit - it is truely a sublime MK1 - :)

Weird question, but where are his boots from?? I have a pair exactly like them that are now 10 years old. Dior. They look identical to his.
Hey Ant,how about a reissue of the Rangemaster Fuzzbug? Indulge us please!

What does the pickup selector switch do on this guitar?
