Delicious Audio: Deep Trip Hellbender

Most fuzz pedal manufacturers can nail the vintage sound of the ‘60’s and ’70’s if they use the right increasingly rare high-quality components and simple circuit designs.

Deep Trip Hellbender combines a faithful throwback sound with enough tonal versatility to serve as your primary dirt box.

Unfortunately, many of these pedals are pretty ponies of the one-trick variety: an expensive addition to your board that only serves to produce one specific sound. Enter the Deep Trip Hellbender – a pedal that combines a faithful throwback sound with enough tonal versatility to serve as your primary dirt box. Moreover, the Hellbender features gorgeous aesthetics and rock-solid construction to boot – what’s not to love?

The Hellbender is modeled after the legendary Coloursound MK II ToneBender, fuzz from the ‘60’s made famous by obscure British musicians like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Jeff Beck.  The sound is instantly recognizable: warm and fuzzy with a distinct vintage vibe. The Deep Trip Hellbender is a boutique recreation of the germanium goodness that produced these legendary tones, but with important twists.
