FuzzHugger Arc Flash -> Soda Mesier channel of Shoegazer - totally ruined sound, it sounds like what I thought the Torn's Peaker would sound like when I read about it.

Fulltone GT500(clean boost) -> BMP NYC -> FH Algal Bloom

I use the GT500 for the clean boost into the BMP to get a really nice smooth saturation then the algal bloom adds volume and hair to each note.

Damn my BMP for it crazy volume drop!!! :mad: Man, i NEED a doomidrive!!! :hug:

Fuck -> Pharaoh
Fix'd Fuzz -> Pharaoh (preferably Ge mode, because it has less gain than the Si one hence less noise and uncotrolable feedback... and more evil low end)

Fuck->Fix'd Fuzz ain't bad either but i've been more happy with Fulldrive->Fix'd Fuzz

I'm still partial to octave into octave ugly.

It's not an everyday thing but I find myself coming back to the Scrambler > Blender combo when I need that certain mean.

Octron (octave up mode A) > AB-Synth 5k
Octron (octave down) > Unpleasant Surprise
Unpleasant Surprise > Four Eyes
The Elements > Hydra
Four Eyes > The Elements

and many more...

At the moment Octron > AB-Synth 5k is one of my favorite.

Back when I played dem' der' electic geetars, my favorite dirt combo was Fuck -> Eau Claire Thunder.
Eau Claire was the girth and the Fuck was the hint of clarity.
Fucking power.

I would love to hear this combo. I always thought the DT pulled off good ISIS Panopticon tones, and that running into the Forest... gah what an idea.

Anything into my Black Forest seems to kick a LOT of ass. And the Black Forest into the HM-2 gives the Heavy Metal a bit more organic girth.

Well right now I'm enjoying:

Fuzzhugger Phantom Ring V2 (Upper side)-->ss/bs Sparkle Motion--> Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder

Crazy, heavy octave up tones with a nice raspy high end :evil:
