The history of the 3-transistor fuzz is storied and colorful with many makers and iterations. EHX submits its chapter in the story as the Bender Royale fuzz! A take on the Mkiii version of the vintage germanium-based circuit, the Bender Royale takes the splendidly saturated sound of the original and opens up a world of fuzz tones from thick and smooth, to brash and sputtery. If you’re into trashy, ripping fuzz or big, fat saturated tones, the Bender Royale will get you there.

Key Features

  • EHX feature-rich homage to the Tone Bender Mkiii
  • Modern controls for expanded tonal possibilities
  • FAT switch adds bass and low-mids boost
  • CLIP switch rebiases clipping structure from Ge (smoother) to LED (rougher)
  • BIAS controls adjust circuit voltage to achieve gated, ripping tones
  • BLEND mixes dry signal back into tone
  • TREBLE is an active treble shelving EQ for taming highs

The original 3-knob control set can be found in the VOL, FUZZ, and BASS knobs. VOL controls output, FUZZ adjusts the input gain, and BASS acts as a passive bass frequency going from full wool to a tightened bass response. With these controls, you already have a massively versatile pedal great for huge rhythm tones and ripping leads.

Leading the outfit of the modern upgrades is the massive FAT switch which adds a massive bass and low-mids boost to your tone providing the perfect thickening agent tonal stew. The CLIP switch changes the clipping structure of the final germanium transistor stage. Switching the transistor’s biasing diode from Ge to LED makes for a rougher and rowdier edge to the tone which really accentuates the unpolished vibe of earlier fuzz pedals. The Bias control takes the fuzz from smooth to sputtery, adjusting the overall voltage of the circuit with the ability to create those addicting gated, rippy tones that tickle your fuzz bone. The TREBLE is an active treble shelving filter used to rein in high frequencies. Employ the BLEND knob to mix clean signal back into your sound to retain attack and clarity when running when using with other dirt sources, or keep your low-end clean and clear when bending your bass tone.

The Bender Royale features mechanical true bypass switching with a soft footswitch that employs latching and momentary action. Click the footswitch for standard latching action or hold the footswitch for more than half a second and the footswitch acts momentarily and will switch back upon release, useful for a quick burst of fuzz or clean. The pedal comes equipped with a 9 Volt battery and accepts a standard EHX 9 Volt power supply.

Bender — Like an old-school chilli recipe passed down through generations — raw, fiery, and full of character. Inspired by the legendary Tone Bender circuits of the late ’60s, it dishes out thick, sustaining fuzz with a spicy edge that cuts right through the mix. Plug one in and you’ll taste that unmistakable vintage heat — the grit of classic rock, the bite of early punk, the warmth that lingers like slow-cooked tone. Every clone and reissue adds its own twist to the sauce, but the recipe stays the same: bold, rich, and addictive. Once you’ve had a taste, nothing else quite satisfies.. Fuzz — A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players. Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.. Germanium — Germanium refers to the type of transistor used in many classic fuzz and overdrive pedals from the 1960s. Known for their warm, smooth clipping and natural compression, germanium transistors create a softer, more organic distortion compared to modern silicon types. They respond beautifully to a player’s touch and guitar volume, delivering rich, vintage tones with a distinctive character that many describe as musical and expressive.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included.
