Today's news, the Colorsound Tonebender has been demystified.      Last night on a whim I decided to build a Colorsound Tonebender circuit, a true classic that was originally released in 1966 and used on countless music recordings since then.  After assembling my collection of parts, pulling up reference schematics I went to work building the circuit.  After a few hours of soldering and wiring the circuit was ready for testing, but alas it didn't operate as intended and it was after midnight so I put it away until today.      First and foremost, I built the audio test probe that I've been meaning to assemble for sometime. This will allow me to trace the circuit and find out where the problem is.  After an hour or so probing the circuit I discovered the first problem, a misplaced resistor. Silly me, I accidentally installed a 100 Ohm resistor in place of a 10K Ohm resistor. Voila! It fired right up after replacing the problematic component....
