Tone Bender MK II - Jimmy Page - 2026

I have some captures of this pedal from a year ago that are good. But they don't capture the glory of playing the actual pedal. Tried sets of captures using varying input levels this time. And used a Yesterday Effects pickup simulator set to simulate the electrical output impedance of a humbucker pickup. Dropping volume on the guitar with these captures will yield nice tones, but still not as good as playing the actual pedal. You can find further history of this pedal and the captures from last year at https://www.tone3000.com/tones/page-bender-tonebender-mk-ii-6623 HG_MidEq_MidInput is my personal 'sweet spot'. Roll guitar volume down to about 5-6 and tone to 6-7 for rhythm/crunch. Then guitar volume back up to 10 for leads/riffs/heaviness. Basic pedal info: - AC125 transistors were used - 3 position toggle with different values of input caps that contour the bass response: mid, lows, lowest - A charge pump circuit on the power input that converts from modern 'negative ground' to the 'positive ground' that works with the PNP AC125 transistors. Makes it compatible with today's standard pedal power supplies - A voltage trimmer that is set to trim down the 9V power a little - this smooths the top end sound out a tad
