Not one, not two, but three germanium
transistors.  All tested for the correct amount of
leakage and gain.  This is an absolute must
have for any true Zeppelin fan.  Big Tone Music
Brewery's Germanium Fuzz Bender is a flawless
recreation of the original Sola Sound Tone
Bender only better because it has true bypass
and it's made by hand with the finest quality
parts available.  With 3 germanium transistors
and a germanium diode, the Fuzz Bender has
more gain, more deeply defined clipping, and
more sustain than the Fuzz Face or it's clones.  
When used with humbuckers, nothing else
sounds as warm and fuzzy as this.  When used
with single coils it scorches and makes the tail
ends of your notes sound like they're on fire.  Put
the Fuzz Bender in front of a wah and you'll see
why it's called "bender".
