How is Magic Lawnchair not in this thread?????

Yeah, exactly, I think this thread really could use Magic Lawnchairs input since he's been stomping on a few...

He must've chained all of his to decide on his favourite and is now stuck in oscillation heaven.

Yeah, probably, he's been abducted by the offended aliens after the lengthy sub-frequency bad mouthing his pedalboard has been transmitting for so long

Shit rules. So god damn controllable. I feel like some sort of deity creating life when I use that one. Then I get to blow it all up without any moral complication.

Now I just want to be clear before I seal the deal, but the Arc Flash Oscillator reacts alot to volume and tone knob positions right? And does the AB-Synth? Because I might be changing my mind and going for the AB-Synth...idk. Someday I will have them all lol

[Bellyheart]

They both do. Absynth roll volume back and it's octave down. Pretty sweet. They both change depending on your guitar knobs.

Indeed, because the AFO is an Arc Flash which has the AbSynth's oscillation circuit.

That's my favorite thing about my ABsynth 5k, you can get crazy pitch shifting tones with volume knob adjustments and really smooth it out too. My guitar sounds like a monstrous fuzzy synth bass!

Algal Bloom + Oscillator custom job


The oscillation is controllable and intuitive. It's not expensive (but it is a custom job) And with the oscillation off it is a brilliant little fuzz (mind you the oscillation control does seem to function a little like a gain control on the normal fuzz sound even with the oscillation switch off. Hard left is considerably more saturated than the demoes and hard right cleans it up to extremely mild OD this of course changes with the Bloom and Gain controls as well)

oh man, AB-SYnth reacts VERY well to Your controls AND also to Your touch. Tune the oscillation from guitar /bass controls and smash the super squishy sounds by hitting harder the strings.

It not only oscillates when You're not playing; it also makes Your playing trail off to outer space. AND if You roll the vol knob down a notch and play, You'll be playing the squarewave synth bass, plus, THAT can have the oscillations by properly setting the knobs. And the normal fuzz tone is GREAT, switchable on by a footswitch.

Let's hear what the other happy customers have to say...

I just ordered the AFO, but you just made me certain what im getting next! That sounds absolutely delish

Quote fail ^ :/

SWEET! AFO also can do sub bass. I'm not sure if it's as stable, but I do know it happens. They do it in one of the demos.

I like the Zoom Ultra Fuzz more than the Zvex Fuzzfactory because you can adjust the tone on the Ultra and aren't stuck w/ the strident tones of the Zvex. Both pedals are pretty versatile but I think the Ultra Fuzz is much more useable.

Fuzzfactory ...isn't all too bad BUT it cost's crazy money for what it delivers, and when it comes to the subject of the thread... is Fuzzfactory really Your favorite oscillating fuzz? ZOOM Ultra Fuzz... haven't tried out myself. To be honest, I don't except much from ZOOM, but hey - I'm not hard to impress by a good, old fashioned surprise. Does it oscillate? Like, really crazy, making Your head spin? The Tri-Metal of that series of pedals turned out a small time classic of a sort, though, crazy tone circuit possibilities to tweak in the studio.


BTW welcome, P.J., to the drop a line in the introduction, will You, in the general di8scussion, let's get to know each other a bit.
And go easy on the colors and big text size, seems like it's Your first post and all, You don't want to show off like a fukken [color=#008040]Tube Screamer. So... hold Your horses, Chief!
