Wilson Effects Fuzz MKIII – A Modern Take on Classic Germanium Fuzz

The Fuzz MKIII takes the legendary Tonebender circuit and pushes it even further, delivering vintage Germanium fuzz with modern versatility. At its core are three NOS PNP Germanium transistors, ready to drive your signal into pure Tonebender bliss.

​

Upgraded Features for Ultimate Control

1. Independent Bass & Treble Controls

• Unlike the original single tone knob, the Fuzz MKIII offers separate Bass and Treble controls, allowing you to fine-tune your tone and unlock a broader range of sounds.

2. Line & Dirt Controls – Sculpt Your Fuzz

• The Line control interacts with the Dirt control to give you even more control over your fuzz sound, making it easy to dial in everything from tight, punchy overdrive to wild, saturated fuzz madness.

3. 6-Position Rotary Switch – Shape Your Fuzz Character

• This switch lets you swap out different capacitors, adjusting the circuit's low-end response.

• Tight & Focused Overdrive → On one end, the fuzz tightens up for a more overdrive-like feel.

• Thick & Loose Fuzz → On the opposite end, the circuit opens up for huge, sagging low-end fuzz tones.

• Everything In-Between → Explore a wide spectrum of fuzz tones with this unique feature.

​​

Vintage Circuit, Modern Convenience

• Classic Positive Ground Circuit – True to the original Tonebender design.

• Built-in Voltage Inverter – Unlike traditional positive-ground fuzz pedals, the MKIII can be used with standard daisy-chain power supplies without issues.

​​

Additional Features

• True Bypass – Ensures your signal remains pure when the pedal is off.

• Power Options – Runs on a 9VDC 2.1mm center-negative power supply or a high-quality 9V battery.

• Handmade in the USA – Built for tone, durability, and quality.

• One-Year Warranty – Covers parts and labor.

The Fuzz MKIII combines the soul of vintage Tonebender fuzz with modern enhancements, making it one of the most versatile Germanium fuzz pedals available today.
