Lady Stardust or Throbak Stonebender

[Renardm]

I recently purchased the Way Huge Swollen Pickle and it's a great Muff style fuzz. I want to get another fuzz in the Tone Bender range. Has anyone tried both the Lady Stardust and the Throbak Stone Bender? Which is better?

Of those two I've just tried(and own) the sTone bender and it is fantastic. The two switches really open up the pedal to go anywhere from pure-all out TB back down to a nice OD surprisingly enough.

I own a Lady Stardust. I have not tried a Stone Bender yet.

I do like how the LSD has an Ohms knob. With this knob, it makes running a wah, in front, a breeze. Also has a Range knob so you can darken it up a little. This is especially nice when using single coils.

PCE has great customer service too.

It will be a tough decision since the clips I have heard of the Lady Stardust sound really good but the Stone Bender gets raves everywhere! The Stone Bender may win due to the ability to use it like an overdrive.

Throbak Stonebender is a Sola Sound Tonebender Mk II clone.
PCE Lady Stardust is a Vox Tonebender clone.
Fwiw.

I've owned and liked both. The LS has the edge when it comes to versatility.
