BPC MKI Wooden Case Prototype Tone Bender

The UK fuzz box phenomenon began in 1965 when electronics engineer Gary Stewart Hurst designed an effects pedal called a Tone Bender. The first production version of the Tone Bender is referred to as the Tone Bender MKI. The MKI featured a three transistor circuit that was based upon the Gibson built Maestro Fuzz-tone. This circuit was modified by Hurst to produce more sustain than its American counter part. The story goes that guitar legend Vic Flick, the man responsible for the James Bond Theme, brought a Fuzz-tone (FZ-1) to Hurst and requested the sustain to be increased. The Tone Bender was one the first ever British made Fuzz box available to the public and sold for 14 guineas. THE BIRTH OF BRITISH FUZZ WAS BORN!

Casing

The original “PROTOTYPE” units were housed in a primitive wooden box case and were distributed to session players on the London scene including Jeff Beck. Due to Beck’s heavy use of the pedal he smashed the unit with his heavy foot stomping movements while playing on stage. As word got out about Gary Hurst new design he changed the construction material to steel in order to live up to the rigours of stage use. Comments If Fuzz is your thing then the above will be of interest from both players and collectors a like that creates both the look styling and tone of Britains most famous and iconic of all fuzz effects

Transistor Tone Guide

  • 2G381:This is what gives the MKI its sag when you bend a note. They are key to the MKIs Tone.
  • OC75: Bright and high gain, snappy in tone, sounds raspy in a 2 transistor circuit such as the MKI.5

Ca10910 2017 Mitchu Outlander Sport
CA10910 Fits: Mitsubishi outlander sport 2017 Matches factory one/design etc- Only takes a few mins to swap out.The air box is frustrating to begin with, it has nothing to do with filter,don’t trim,tuck or cut. Adjust and line up the actual air box. (Not my first rodeo changing it) Idk about performance: I just changed it. Going to assume much better being my old one was overdue. Can’t beat the price/value. 5Stars bc it looks and feels identical to factory, (Will update if any issues;don’t expect any) 4/2026

Poor fit, filter compartment won't close completely.
Mitsubishi Outlander SE 2017 (not sport). However, the filter doesn't fit properly. The edges on the bottom are too thick and don't compress to fit. I was able to force it to close, but it was way too tight. Original has thinner edges. FRAM filter from Walmart worked great. I'll go back to those after this one.
