Description

The Phobos Fuzz is a clone of the Coloursound Tone Bender Mark 3 (three-knob). The Phobos project has a voltage inverter which allows you to power the effect with a standard center-negative adapter while maintaining the positive-ground operation of the original. The pcb also includes space for biasing trim pots so you can dial in a perfect bias without having to swap out resistors.

This kit contains the PCB and all necessary parts. The enclosure can be selected, please select 3 or 4 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.

4 from 5 Tone Bender mk IV !!!

This is a nice evolution of the mighty Tone Bender.
The kits provides everything to build the 4 knob version (with external bias pot), which is very useful if you need to correct the bias under temperature change.
The PCB is high quality. There are many possible configurations, so be very thorough when building it !
As the documentation says, the volume drop is significant : you may either leave it unchanged and increase the volume amp, or you may apply the volume mod described in the doc (just need a 250 kA pot and and a 68k resistor).
The sound is what you may expect from a bender : can be harsh and gritty, or smooth, or violent... Lots of possibilities ! A bit agressive with Fender like amps, but very creamy with Vox AC15.

5 from 5 Phobos : Sola Sound 3 pots version

I chose the Sola Sound tone bender version, with 3 pots.

Easy to build, good instructions .

It just sounds more than great, I cant get enough of it.

I suggest to use sockets for all transistors, it will be easier to change them if needed .
