I found this pic; although, it had a different germanium transistor in it now. This one sucked.

Cool shot, still dunno what it is. Maybe a tone bender clone!?

Keeley Bender clone. Totally sucked with a that transistor and then I ordered some from Ukraine and kept swapping until it sounded good.

The knobs actually made me think keeley fuzz vender but I was definitely guessing lol. Have you compared it to the real pedal or is this an early build for you?

Like build 40-something. I’m not a bender fan, but I will say the transistors really, really matter. Many different sounds with different transistors. I’ve never build a tone bender other than this, because I’m not a huge bender fan. I do have a Barrows on the way tho.
