aron	Re: More on 2-knob Tone Benders Stuart, These things are probably almost all the same. Remember the Fuzz Face was a very popular type of circuit. Look at R.G.'s write up about the Fuzz Face. There's a bunch of pedals that are very similar. The 3 transistor 2 knob Mark II is basically a germanium Fuzz Face with 1 extra transistor in front. Almost exactly like the silicon Rocket on my site. Yeah, the biasing is different, but it's still a Fuzz Face. Now that I think about it, 1 extra transistor and the Hornet can easily be a Tone Bender.
