The Skreddy Supa Tone is a grinding fuzz pedal for guitar or bass from Skreddy Pedals, based on the 1974 "Supa Tonebender" fuzz by Colorsound. It is sold on preorder with a stated wait time of approximately 2 weeks to 1 month, at a list price of $259 plus shipping1. Some maker listings show a sale price of $233.10 alongside the $259 list price2.
What it is and where it came from
Skreddy describes the Supa Tone as "grinding distortion for guitar or bass," and is explicit about its lineage: it is "Based on the 1974 \"Supa Tonebender\" fuzz by Colorsound™"1. The maker also notes that it has "no affiliation with Colorsound or Electro-Harmonix or Marshall, who of course own their trademarked names"1.
The Skreddy Supa Tone is made by Skreddy Pedals1. The maker states plainly that it has no connection to the companies behind the names its design nods to: "we have no affiliation with Colorsound or Electro-Harmonix or Marshall, who of course own their trademarked names"1. For a player, that means the Supa Tone is Skreddy's own take on a familiar style of fuzz, not a licensed reissue or an official continuation of any of those historic pedals.
How it compares to a Big Muff
Skreddy Pedals is careful to draw a line between the Supa Tone and the pedals whose names it echoes. The maker states that it has "no affiliation with Colorsound or Electro-Harmonix or Marshall, who of course own their trademarked names"1. So while the pedal sits in the same territory as a Big Muff-style fuzz by design, it is a Skreddy product through and through, and players comparing it against an original Colorsound Supa Tone Bender or an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff should treat it as an independent interpretation rather than a copy sold under one of those brands.
Skreddy's take on the circuit leans into that character while pulling away from the Muff's compression. The maker describes the Guitar voicing as "Rough, unrefined, grinding, low-gain fuzz," and as "more raw & dynamic, less compressed and sustainy than a Big Muff"1.
Guitar and Bass versions
The Supa Tone is "Available with 2 different voicings of the mids toggle switch": Guitar and Bass1.
| Version | Mids switch | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Guitar | Classic 1974 mids scoop to the left, flat mids to the right | Rough, unrefined, grinding, low-gain fuzz1 |
| Bass | A "Guitar/Bass" switch: Guitar mode (left) is the classic scooped sound; Bass mode (right) preserves the bass through the tone knob's sweep | "Grindy, tubey distortion that stays in the pocket," a fuzzed attack that stays punchy with a normal decay envelope1 |
For bass players, the Bass voicing is the one built to keep low end intact: in Bass mode the pedal "preserves ALL of the brutal bass throughout the tone knob's sweep"1. Players browsing bass pedals or fuzz pedals will find the Supa Tone sits in the distortion lane alongside other distortion pedals from the same maker, such as the Skreddy Ernie, the Pig Mine, and the Top Fuel.

Questions
How much does the Skreddy Supa Tone cost?
Skreddy Pedals lists the Supa Tone at $259 plus shipping on its product page as of October 2026. Some listings from the maker show a sale price of $233.10 alongside the $259 list price, so the price you pay may depend on when and where you order.
Is the Skreddy Supa Tone available now or on preorder?
The Supa Tone is sold as a preorder. Skreddy Pedals states a current wait time of approximately 2 weeks to 1 month, so ordering means waiting for the pedal to be built rather than receiving it from stock.
What is the difference between the Guitar and Bass versions?
The two versions differ in the voicing of the mids toggle. The Guitar version has the classic 1974 mids scoop to the left and flat mids to the right. The Bass version changes that switch to a Guitar/Bass switch: Guitar mode keeps the classic scooped sound, while Bass mode preserves the bass content across the tone knob's sweep for a grindy, punchy distortion.
How does the Supa Tone compare to a Big Muff?
The original Colorsound Supa Tone Bender it is based on was, according to Premier Guitar, essentially a Ram's Head-era Big Muff design minus a first-stage clipping diode and a few other components. Skreddy describes its version as rough, unrefined, grinding, low-gain fuzz that is more raw and dynamic, less compressed and sustainy than a Big Muff guitar voicing.
Is the Skreddy Supa Tone made by Colorsound?
No. The Supa Tone is made by Skreddy Pedals and is based on the 1974 Supa Tonebender fuzz by Colorsound. The maker states it has no affiliation with Colorsound, Electro-Harmonix, or Marshall, who own their trademarked names. The original was built by the Colorsound/Sola Sound company.
