The FuzzHugger FUZZ HUGER!

HUGE FUZZ

It's about time the HUGER got its own thread. Cause it's finally here!

Limited grey HUGER in stock at Tone Factor and Crush the Button (Belgium):

Big, bassy, thick, fuzz! Huge and full, crushingly big, while letting your guitar and dymanics shine through! Dare I say Pi Eater?

After a few years of tweaking the Great Wall, I decided to start over almost completely to nail huge fuzz. I never wanted to clone a Big Muff (I think there are other, more unique ways to get huge!). Plus, I liked that the Great Wall circuit was more dynamic than the BMP, and retained more of the character of the guitar running into it. The Great Wall was versatile, but from thinner to thicker...the Huger is more versatile, but within the range of different huge fuzz tones!

I also wanted better tone controls, a smarter interface, and more of that super-alive fuzz frothiness! I kept some of that core GW circuitry, but added key clipping changes, all new diodes, more bass on tap than ever, separate Bass and Treble controls, diode switching (and 30-50% more circuitry than before)! When you switch the Tone controls on, you're not only sculpting, scooping and filtering, but also switching diodes over to a whole new fuzz flavor! There's a whole lot going on in the Huger.

They're just hitting the planet, with one direct-ordered batch sent out, one small batch at Tone Factor, and one batch in Belgium at Crush. Look for more at Prymaxe next week!

Who has one? Post reactions, descriptions, clips and vids!

Glad the work paid off bud!

I grabbed one a while back and here are my first thoughts: I was initially playing with everything dimed which has a really great high gain sorta blowtorch sizzle - so far so awesome. Then I started peeling back the push and the tone controls and discovered all of this amazing low gain stuff too! The decay on ringing sustained notes and chords is really really beautiful, sort of a lilting organic sputter. I was also curious about how it sounded with different guitars, and whether or not it would let the guitar's individual tone shine through. I tried it with an ESP Hybrid prototype set up kinda like a Tele Esquire (Tele bridge PU only - no neck pickup), and it had that great punchy twangy Tele bridge PU base tone under the fuzz. Then I swapped guitars and tried it with a semi-hollow Ibanez AM50 (two humbuckers), and the tone opened right up. Very impressed with this thing! Great work Tom.
