Does the Algal Bloom go BWAAAH?

Post by Monkeyboard »

I've recently had humongous GAS for a Fuzzhugger Algal Bloom and was contemplating selling my Big Muff (which I bought a long time ago when I had no idea good fuzzes existed for only a tiny bit more money.
The Algal Bloom sounds like it should be a great versatile not too high-gain fuzz. At the moment I'm using my Big Muff into an English Muff'n to get a nice bassy distortion semi-fuzz type sounds that can only be described by: BWAAAAH
Would an Algal Bloom run into an English Muff'n be able to do the same type of sound? (as well as ofcourse all the other great sounds that are in there.)

Thanks in advance

The AB is a staple on my board, can get nice amounts of gain and clean up very well.

I also have a green russian BMP clone, they don't sound alike.

I feel that both of them are amazing though and I have to back up anyones decision on buying an algal bloom.

The Algal Bloom is worth it. I'd use it with your big muff though not instead of.

Hmmm

Might hold on to it then and do some more work and sell some other random crap I have lying around to see if I can't get one.

Thanks!

So....anyone interested in an old Zelda limited edition Gameboy SP? :joy:

Haha I'll keep you in mind. I'm chronically broke though. So hard finding a job for teenagers at the moment.

Man i feel your pain....im so unemployed its not even funny. i was a manager at the wendys here until they fired the entire store over some food costs bullshit. I had to drop out of college mid semester. Shit was lame....seriously though dont be afraid to flip burgers its usually somewhat fun and you can almost always get drunk or high at work and hold down an alright paycheck, at least one that will supply you with a decent variety of devices for making peoples ears wish they hadnt walked into your particular show on that particular day.

Yeah but even flipping burgers or stacking shelves or other standard jobs are all occupied.

I've got a decent grasp of the English language as a second language so I figured I could translate or give lessons to kids or something like that but my age is an annoying PITA. :no:
