A Vintage-spec Masterpiece for Fuzz Fanatics
The Warm Audio Warm Bender re-creates the essence of multiple landmark fuzz benders in one convenient pedal. Immaculately crafted with five NOS germanium transistors, the Warm Bender offers three mighty modes to explore: two classic germanium voices plus a bonus fuzz circuit that uses silicon for a more modern sound and smoother clipping. What’s more, the Warm Bender Fuzz features a sag control that lets you starve the fuzz circuit's voltage for wild results full of sparks, sputter, and fizz. The Warm Bender Fuzz stuffs all these features into a stunning vintage-inspired enclosure rounded out with a durable metal powder finish that’s set for vigorous use.

Three circuits, one device!
From Jeff Beck to Mick Ronson, numerous legendary pros treasured the original circuits that define the Warm Bender Fuzz pedal’s modes. The NOS 76 setting roars with massive volume output and an engulfing presence that slices through any mix. The NOS 75 mode takes you back to primordial metal’s heyday with fiery high-gain saturation that’s been known to burn classic riffs into the memories of millions. Lastly, designers included a silicon mode. Silicon is undoubtedly less traditional than germanium when it comes to vintage fuzz circuits. Still, fuzz fanatics here at Sweetwater find this bonus silicon mode delivers extra headroom and a smoother sound that’s useful for contemporary genres that feature fuzz as a rhythm thickener or an ambient texture.
