I'm glad you liked it :yay:

I'm having so much fun with this thing. I have a few favourite settings already, but it's going to take me weeks to get through all of them. This thing is extremely versatile!

Loving the background on that feedback loop!!

Man, one of those with an octave switch instead of oscillation... I might need to skip a couple of lunches. 8DDD

It can be done! :cool:

I like to do it footswitchable (and independent) in front of the Algal Bloom, so you can use it on its own or into another fuzz after it.

Octave switch and oscillator. :idea:

Here's an epic custom build that you probably can't convince me to do again.

It's a Lab Ratchet into a Great Wall...OR a Great Wall into a Lab Ratchet, because there's a reverse-order toggle!
(I was asked to use Huger-specs for the Great Wall, and did so.)
Tone circuit for the Great Wall with Bass and Treble knobs, mids toggle, and Tone-circuit-bypass switch.

Holy crap man

by **JuJo** » Thu Sep 11, 2014 6:59 pm

That is just awesome.

Did Tristan order that?

by **Tristan** » Thu Sep 11, 2014 7:13 pm

Yep, good guess all around, it landed and is sounding crazy, very synthy!

I hadn't played these pedals in advance so it was a bit of a gamble but a little help from some fellow ILF'ers steered me this way, thanks dudes, JuJo, Soni and ofcourse thanks Tom!
Didn't realise I was going to love the Lab Ratchet so much, it does the thick spitty thing on single notes and then if you hit it with a chord it just dashes out this incredibly textured harmonically rich fuzztone, it's amazing! :love:

The Fuzz Huger is completely different from what I thought it would be, for my tastes it's maybe not punchy enough to be a real heavy riff fuzz (my only gripe) but right now I use it more like a supersustain fuzzy woolly single note synthy type thing and I find it is truly awesome at that.
Together it's insanity, you can get these Velcrobot type filtered tones with the Fuzz Huger eq off or the bass rolled way back, you can combine the sustain of the Fuzz Huger with the texture of the Lab Ratchet cutting through it, with the gain on the Fuzz Huger full up you can get a really fat octave up type fuzz and there's way more but I don't know what more to say.
EDIT: I affectionately nicknamed it "Hands" after a song of my old band.
:joy:
