Lady Stardust
Unleash the Vintage Fury of the Lady Stardust Fuzz aficionados, prepare to be captivated by the Phoenix Custom Electronics Lady Stardust – a pedal that pays homage to the legendary Vox Tonebender, one of the earliest and most revered fuzz circuits. This meticulously crafted germanium fuzz masterpiece delivers a sonic palette that has enchanted players like Nels Cline of Wilco, who owns not one, but two, Lady Stardusts. The Lady Stardust's secret weapon is its innovative "Range" control, which allows you to seamlessly blend between the classic Vox Tonebender's bright, articulate tone and a richer, more bass-heavy sound. Crank the "Range" knob clockwise for that iconic Vox snarl, perfect for humbucking-equipped guitars, or turn it counterclockwise to fatten up the low end – perfect for coaxing out the best from your single-coils. Pair the Lady Stardust with a cranked Marshall and a Les Paul, and you'll be channeling the spirit of Mick Ronson, the legendary guitarist who helped define the fuzz-fueled sound of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" era. But don't be fooled – this pedal's versatility extends far beyond classic rock tones, with a "Bias" control that allows you to fine-tune the germanium transistors for a wide range of fuzz flavors. Whether you're chasing vintage inspiration or seeking to carve out your own sonic identity, the Phoenix Custom Electronics Lady Stardust is a must-try for any guitarist who craves the unmistakable character and responsiveness of a true germanium fuzz.
