Electroharmonix Bender Royale Germanium Mkiii 3-Transistor Fuzz Black

Electro-Harmonix Bender Royale
The Bender Royale from Electro-Harmonix provides the thick and rich sound of germanium fuzz with a generous range of tone shaping options to sculpt uniquely saturated tones. Inspired by the MkIII version of the legendary stompbox that paved the way for countless germanium fuzz designs, Bender Royale is a great source for everything from classic to custom fuzz tones. From woolly and round saturation to spitting and sizzling fuzz, Bender Royale is sure to satisfy your need for a wide range of captivating sounds.

Control and customize your tone starting with the original three-knob control set in the Volume, Fuzz, and Bass knobs, giving you precise adjustment of output level, gain, and bass balance. At the top of the pedal, the FAT switch engages a serious boost to bass and low-mids for thunderous fuzz tones that thicken up riffs with ease. Select between diode flavors with the CLIP switch, choosing between the smoother Germanium mode and the rougher and more raucous sound of LED mode.

Retune the fuzz response with the Bias knob, invoking sputtery break-up at high settings, perfect for gated velcro sounds. Tame those ripping high frequencies with the Treble control to apply a high frequency shelf filter, and set a final mix of fuzz and input signal with the Blend control. If you're looking for tone bender excellence with plenty of flexibility to explore classic and modern fuzz tones alike, the Bender Royale from EHX is here to take the fuzz throne once and for all.
