Gary Hurst Tonebender MKI


Like the last one, a bit of a pain but the Gary Hurst version is slightly more forgiving I believe.  Again don't forget to cut the trimmer legs that are shown over the -9V rail, there should be no connection there.  This is based on the original Gary Hurst MkI because the reissue was in reality a MkII.  Maybe Gary thought the MkI's are a pain as well! :o)

This one is verified




Updated 31st January 2014:  A lot of people have mentioned that the trimmers in this aren't as important as finding the correct transistors, so I'd recommend building this version which omits the trimmers entirely and puts the fixed resistors back.

Make sure you use sockets for the transistors and prepare yourself to audition plenty! :o)

One for the metal heads or those looking for a bit more gain.  The offboard wiring will be a bit of a pain though!
