Just wondering what everyone uses for that ToneBender-type tone, vintage, re-issues or clone?
Thanks

I just got a Prescription Electronics Yardbox. It's supposed to be near-clone of the 3-knob Tonebender (though it's got 4 knobs). I think it sounds exactly like it should. Perfectly nails that Jimmy Page tone. I wouldn't call it versatile though. I've basically found one really great tone in it and I'm just gonna leave the knob settings there.

I spent some time trying out a Fulltone Soul Bender, their take on the Tonebender, and it's also great. I'd say it was slightly more versatile than the Yardbox but also smoother and better behaved, which I didn't want. I prefer my fuzz a little more obnoxious so I prefer the Yardbox.

I also compared the Yardbox side-by-side with a vintage Big Muff just for the heck of it. Surprisingly similar but the Yardbox is a lot more usable, at least for my style. Not as, I dunno, gutteral and belchy as the Muff. Smoother and slightly less out of control. More musical I guess. Yet nastier and just plain weirder than a Fuzz Face.

Mine's got an LED indicator light too, by the way, which I think he's just started adding as pictures I've seen of older Yardboxes don't seem to have the LED.
