behringer - FUZZ BENDER

"Of the many guitar effects that’s synonymous with rock, fuzz has to be at the top of anyone’s list. It’s been a genre staple since the 60s and has been the basis of many flavors of distortion to this day. But here at Behringer, we’ve always been about bringing it back, old-school and we’re doing that with the Behringer FUZZ BENDER."

"... as you can see it keeps its iconic shape in its all-metal-enclosure ... yes it is a little smaller than the original ..."

DEMTON - multi effects pedal

"In 1975, 1 year later, 50 years ago, I built myself a multi-effects pedal, I think it might have been the first multi-effects in the country. I had never seen anything like it before.

The entire mechanism was also self-made.

Its special feature was that the Wah and Volume pedals were already optoelectronic, not potentiometers. Noiseless and squeak-free.

It had WAH, Phase shifter, compressor and distortion. The sequence of WAH and distortion could be changed with a switch. And the distortion was adjusted with 6 selectable sound volt switches and coiled inductive filters. I loved it very much."

"I think Hungary's first multi-effects pedal was completed in 1977 :-) I outgrew the old simple distortion and wanted to imitate the professional sounds. The little devil was moving in my brain and didn't leave me alone until I created this pedal. This was the content of WAH - Phase shifter - Fuzz - Compressor . The Fuzz and WAH order could be switched with a switch.  It was particularly interesting that even then the Volume and WAH were made with optical control without a potentiometer! The Phase Shifter was a copy of a Roland Phaser, I cringed the most because the phase shifting was done by 6 RC members, which were controlled by 6 FETs at the same time. After construction, it sounded pretty bad. In my frustration, I messed around until I realized that the FETs must be exactly the same. Luckily for me, the local parts store had approx. It has 150 FETs, from which I was able to select the 6 identical ones. The result spoke for itself. And I began to learn the profession more and more. Thanks to a bit of luck, it came back to me."

The most exquisite stripes on shells belong to the Nerite family.

Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum. The family Neritidae includes marine genera such as Nerita, marine and freshwater genera such as Neritina, and freshwater and brackish water genera such as Theodoxus.

The common name "nerite" as well as the family name Neritidae and the genus name Nerita, are derived from the name of Nerites, who was a sea god in Greek mythology.
