FROM LUSH TO LUNACY: MIND BENDER DELIVERS KILLER ANALOG CHORUS AND VIBRATO
Earning the Guitar World Platinum Award, Mind Bender is two pedals in one, with an authentic Bucket Brigade Delay circuit serving up supremely lush, warm chorus and the ultimate in classic vibrato. Inspired by the inimitable guitar wrangling of Will Ray and created by Paul Gagon, Mind Bender warps the sonic boundaries from gentle pulsation to spaced-out ray gun effects.
Mind Bender delivers the consistency and ruggedness that are the hallmark of BBE pedals, designed for guitarists whose gigs are as demanding as their ears. It’s got a beefy mil-spec circuit board with big, fat signal traces, 1% metal-film resistors and high-voltage poly caps, all backed by robust, true hardwire bypass.
When you want the finest vintage analog chorus and vibrato experience without the headaches, Mind Bender is the one.
