Set your fuzz tone on full tilt with the Electro-Harmonix Bender Royale! This dynamic blast from the past pays homage to the popular third-issue germanium-based fuzz circuit with additional tone controls that expand your favorite distorted, sustaining sound to new heights. Between isolated Bass and Treble dials and an array of tone-sculpting controls, you have a plethora of overdriven greatness at your fingertips, from classic, germanium-infused sweetness to diode-clipping, scratchy-sounding fuzz meltdown. Unlike fuzz boxes of yore, the Bender Royale features true bypass circuitry that keeps your signal flow consistent from guitar to amp. Add in a 2-in-1 latching/momentary footswitch to add bursts of distortion on demand, and the only thing clear about the Bender Royale is that it magnificently transforms your guitar sound into a distorted fuzz-force to be reckoned with.
