D*A*M 1966 PSYCHO LIME OC71/OC83 Das Pedal funktioniert tadellos. Es klingt fantastisch - im 1966 Mode wie ein vintage Italian Tone Bender von Vox - allerdings einer von den Guten, die mit mit einer ungefähren Trefferquote von 10:1 natürlich auch in 'alt' kaufen kann.
Die meisten originalen Vox Italian Tone Bender sind eben doch entweder nicht gerade nebengeräuscharm oder unausgewogen im Sound - haben zu wenig Attack oder haben nicht gut aufeinander abgestimmte Transistoren - und bestehen nunmal auch 40+ Jahre alten Halbleitern...
Das 1966 im Super Bee mode klingt wie ein Italian Tone Bender auf Steroiden! Aus dem etwas schmalen Vox Tone Bender, der sich ganz gut mit seinem mittigen Klang im Bandsound durchsetzt wird im Super Bee mode ein fettes Fuzz Monster.
Durchsetzungsfähig wie ein MKII Tone Bender aber mit den Bassfrequenzen und Clean up eines Fuzz Faces ist das 1966 die vintage Fuzz Allzweckwaffe. ;)

The D*A*M "1966" is a replica of the Vox Tone Bender that was produced between 1966-68 that features the grey hammerite casing with the large logo black face plate. Maybe the most iconic Tone Bender of all, say the words Tone Bender and this is the pedal most will think of.
Originally made in 1966 the Vox Tone Bender had one of the longest runs of any Tone Bender variant and was still being made in some form or another into the mid to late 1970's. Even though these pedals were branded as Vox units they were not UK made items. These Tone Benders were actually made in Italy. It could have been possible that the earliest units were made in England, as with the early Vox Wah pedals, but there is no direct proof for this. The very first Vox Tone Benders did have slightly different component values but most obvious of all had an OC76 transistor in the second position within the circuit. were fitted with a SFT337 and an OC76 and also had the input capacitor mounted beneath the circuit board. Models from approx 1967 still used the SFT337 but in place of the OC76 used a SFT363E and featured a top mounted input capacitor. The 1966 is usually fitted with either an AC125 or an OC71 in the first stage which ensures lower noise levels and an OC76 in the second stage to guarantee those splendid raspy fuzz tones of the original. Very special gain selected pairs are used to produce a wide dynamic response with creamy organic overtones and a strong output level. The tone produced by this circuit can be a little shocking at first if you are expecting a deep brick wall type of fuzz tone. The treble content could be considered quite high for a fuzz pedal of this type but it does make for a very unique sounding effect and an excellent pedal to be used with dark sounding British valve amplifiers. This also is an excellent device to use when you require a fuzz box that has greater articulation, clearer dynamics and tighter string definition than say a standard Fuzz Face type circuit.
