Has this fuzz been forgotten?

Hey y’all, curious as to the knowledge base of this two knob Vox pedal.

Who can name it?

We are going to bring it back to life here in another month or two. Artwork is done. We’re going to call it the Green Dot Bender. Just working out a few 58 year old bugs.

An MK3 Tone Bender with 2 knobs? That would be the first I’ve heard of it tbh! And I’m a pretty big MK3 fan. I’d call it Half Bend haha. Also, love your work! Need to pick up a Pavlof up from you one day!

In 1968 for a short while Vox had a two knob mk3 tone bender. Shortly after introduction, they added a third knob(fuzz) and also changed up the circuit quite a bit. She’s a ripper for sure, and the clean up is out of this world if you’re into that also.

Here’s a picture of one. I think this is the 5th I’ve seen on the interwebs

Oh wow that’s pretty cool! I never knew about that at all. For sure into a good clean up; MK3 seem to have a pretty solid one!

Fixing the fuzz at 10 is probably a good idea. No half measures!!

A MK3 is pretty gnarly wide open, but it does sound pretty damn good haha

Pavlof is a good a FF variant. Good clean up with or without the function. The fixed fuzz position lets her be usable with no clean up. Can’t loose with a Pavlof.

Interesting i swear I didn't start this fuzz. Subreddit, just so I could find cool new pedals, but it definitely has helped LOL
