Title: Tonebender MkII
Post by: Thewintersoldier on August 25, 2019, 11:15:46 PM
Aion Tonebender MkII with ac125s I got from Lic pedals a while back. No deviations from the original schematic, pure vintage tone here. Rips thru my Tungsten Buckwheat. I did some painting yesterday so I'm boxing up 3 more build tomorrow so look out for 2 more benders and a pork barrel real soon.

I miss them too! That was where I liked to get shielded cable in addition to the occasional transistor.

Anyway, great build! Could I ask which brand of hammered spray paint you used? I'm planning on boxing a MkII in the next few weeks and am hoping to do that same color.

Wow, the originals wished they looked that good.

Is Lic Pedals not in business anymore?  I just saw on Ebay that "the seller is away". I like the way they sort and label transistors like those for the Tonebender.

Thanks, I use rustoleum hammered paints. Even though its paint and primer in one I still do two coats of primer and two or three coats of paint 5 mins between each coat. this is just regular silver. These are the best for hiding defects in the enclosure.

I got this set last december right before he dropped off. He's out of buisness right now and all my other sets are from smallbear or pedalhacker
