Warm Audio, presents two rather intriguing new pedals from Austin, Texas: the Warm Bender and the RingerBringer. Let’s take a closer look!
WarmBender: a versatile Tone Bender
The Warm Bender, largely inspired by the 1966 Vox Bender Made in Italy, offers a Tone Bender-style fuzz experience, featuring three selectable circuits. Incorporating NOS germanium transistors, the circuits precisely recreate two of the iconic Tone Bender fuzz tones, with the added bonus of a modern silicon circuit. Legends such as Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck have forged their sounds with these iconic British fuzzes.
Featuring the look and controls typical of a Tone Bender-style pedal, Warm Bender offers options ranging from aggressive fuzz to the tighter tone of a distortion. The SAG switch regulates tension to create compressed, touch-sensitive tones. Three distinct settings (NOS 76, NOS 75, Silicon) offer extensive versatility to suit every musician’s preferences.

RingerBringer: 100% analog ring modulation, inspired by Moog
The RingerBringer is a very faithful replica (even visually) of the 1998 Moog MoogerFooger MF-102. It’s a 100% analog ring modulation pedal, precisely recreating the experimental modulation effect used by artists such as Jeff Beck and Radiohead. The LFO, MOD, Frequency & RATE controls offer a wide range of sonic possibilities, from subtle textures to distorted leads.
This pedal inspires sonic exploration, whether for guitar, synths or keyboards. The RingerBringer offers an ideal platform for developing a unique sonic signature, adding harmonic content and endless modulation.
