Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.33% — somewhat different

Hornby Skewes Treble Booster is a hand-selected OC75 transistor treble boost with variable frequency selector across 11 distinct steps, hardwire true bypass, and 9V battery power. The linear gain circuit and modified tone setup provide rich, dynamic boost ideal for pairing with already-distorted amps.
The JHS Legends of Fuzz Tone Bender is part of JHS Pedals Legends of Fuzz series, a collection of carefully researched reproductions of historically significant vintage fuzz circuits. This edition recreates the Sola Sound Tone Bender circuit, one of the foundational fuzz designs from mid-1960s Britain that influenced guitarists including Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Mick Ronson. The reproduction targets the specific character of the original Tone Bender, which delivers a thick, harmonically complex fuzz with smooth sustain and a slightly woolly upper-octave presence. JHS assembled the Legends Tone Bender with vintage-matched germanium transistors and period-accurate circuit values to reproduce the original unit as authentically as possible. It suits players who want historically accurate vintage fuzz character for classic rock, blues, and psychedelic styles.
