A forward from Will Ray
"For many years I have been searching for the ultimate pedal
that simulates a rotating Leslie speaker. I have tried many different brands and models only to be disappointed in the end.
When BBE approached me to help develop a new pedal I
jumped at the chance. The result is the BBE Mind Bender.
This pedal is the real deal! It not only simulates a rotating
speaker, but with its unique vibrato and pitch bending capabilities it can create a lot of other sounds too. It's like some kind
of monster chorus unit on acid and I know that you'll feel the
same way when you plug into it.
The Mind Bender: Because you never
know just where your mind will go
when you use it. Enjoy the ride!"
Thank you for your purchase of the Mind Bender!
The Mind Bender is an analog Vibrato/Chorus that utilizes a
BBD (Bucket Brigade Delay) circuit and was patterned after two
rare vintage pedals; the Boss* VB-2 Vibrato (Pitch Vibrato) and
Way Huge Electronics* Blue Hippo™ (Analog Chorus).

• Speed and Depth controls
• On/Off Status L.E.D. pulses rate of Speed control (when effect on)

We recommend reading this manual to familiarize yourself with
all of the features of the Mind Bender before using. Should you
