Description

The Deimos project is identical to the original Tone Bender Mark 2 except for a couple of enhancements. First, a voltage inverter circuit has been added so you can use PNP transistors with a standard 9V supply. Second, it includes trimmers to more easily dial in the optimal bias voltage.

This kit contains the PCB and all necessary parts. The enclosure can be selected, please select 2 knobs for 6,3mm shaft separately.

This project is by Aion Electronics, in collaboration with Musikding. If you have any problems with the contents of the kit, please contact Das Musikding (Klaus). Since the modifications require some basic knowledge, this project is rather for more experienced builders.

5 from 5 Great no-nonsense ToneBender MKII

Got the kit with the pre-drilled box. Very happy with the pedal, however I have a few suggestions to consider before building.

I got a matched set of AC125s, which were nice! They biased pretty easily without much hassle.
Sounds great, proper ToneBender MKII fuzz.

The kit comes with PNP-NPN voltage inverter chip TC1044S, this IC is also suggested in the build docs. However, I found the IC to cause a whining feedback when used with a power supply (CIOKS DC5, OneSpot and HB PowerPlant Jr all did this). Luckily I had a spare ICL7660S which got rid of the noise.

The pre-drilled box did not have space for a battery, but you could fit one if you drill the box yourself. Worth considering especially if you are planning to build it without the voltage inverter.

5 from 5 This is a great project....

This is a great souding project, as long as you pick the RIGHT transistors.
I picked up three different trasistors (hand selected for HFE and leakage): one SB77 (Japan), one 2N404 and the last (100-130) AC125 provided with the kit and all I can say is: WOW!
I setted the trimmers all the way up to be near the voltages adviced on the fantastic Aion instructions.
My Tone bender is powerful, even crisp on the higher strings, cleans up quite well by rolling down the volume.
The kit comes with all the necessary parts; again beautuful istructions (you have to download from the Musikdings page link). The PCB is high quality, as for the components, pots and switches. Not a beginner project because the result may vary due to the transistors picked (to be honest havent tried the other two= Q1 and Q2 provided with the kit).
Thanks Klaus for offer so many HIGH QUALITY projects like this one!
