¼" Jack - Pure Tone, Stereo, Double Open Circuit
Pure Tone has developed a high quality 1/4" three pole (stereo) jack using a new patented design that improves upon and offers a more reliable connection than standard 1/4" jacks. The Pure Tone design features two springs for both the tip connection, a spring for the ring, and an additional spring for the shield connection. These help to secure the plug into place and create a greater surface area connection at contact points to improve stability and signal integrity. These jacks also increase the current capability of 1/4" connections.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, MKII Fuzz, Phenolic Board
MKII fuzz circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in Tone Bender Professional MKII pedals. When drawing the layout, an original board was closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. Since the MKII boards were cut from stripboard, this board follows the same format but is completely ready for soldering with precut traces and drilled mounting holes. The build style is very straightforward on the Mk2. It is a standard stripboard build and follows a very linear circuit path across the board.The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below. For modern versions of this board, see P-PC-BEND-MKII-X.
