I'm wanting to achieve the low gain fuzzy tone on the song "city girl" by kevin shields.

Not really like the spider or any devi fuzz. It IS akin to the Fingerprint but is much woolier. It sounds absolutely ENORMOUS with the gain cranked and the trim and starve off so you get the full on bloom. you can use those controls to tweak it, which is nice, but the trim knob basically works the same way as your volume knob if you run it close to your guitar in the chain. actually maybe it still does later in the chain i just didn't try it that way. The 'print's texture knob brings much more drastic changes to the sound than the algal's starve does. But seriously, once you've heard the Algal on full bloom I'm not even sure why you'd want to change a thing.
Fully cranked, its bigger than the Fingerprint, but the Fingerprint is still more dynamic/touch sensitive and has a wider variety of sounds in its controls--the algal is one main sound, just with lots of different ways to tame it. but that sound is GORGEOUS. I mean it too, w/ buckers it can get pretty brutal but w/ my strat & jazzy its just beautiful rich harmonic fuzz heaven. seriously.
The 'print, algal, shoe gazer, bit, and mayo will now be my palette of fuzz. i need no more. i am happy
speaking of the mayo, though, it reminds me that the algal really does have the creamy bloom of a triangle style muff but without being a muff at all.
*still blown away*
DEMO VID TOMORROW!!! (yeah, tomorrow being friday, i've been awake all night like usual) I'll throw in some a/b's with the 'print and some other fuzzes too but it'll focus mostly on the algal.
