BEST FUZZ FOR SHOEGAZE?????

[fungalattack]

So the guitarist in the shoegaze band I'm in used the algal bloom a lot today, and it sounded perfect for everything we were doing. Whether it was a hazy crunch or a piercing howl for solos, it just made sense for all of the weird open tuning jangly stuff and the scrambled power chord riffs.

The Algal Bloom is such a great pedal. Everyone I've let play mine is blown away by how versatile it is, and how awesome it is at so many different settings.

I didn't realize just how versatile it was until I started twisting the knobs because for so long I just plugged it in and was like wow I dont need to change this setting!!! I had some distant and sickly crunchy punk tones today. It is just so fuzzy while retaining the note definition when you are digging into a chord.

Ughhhhh. You guys are making me want a bass bloom. I really liked what the Algal Bloom did when I had one, but it was missing something on bass. And then Tom went and fixed that.

Open tunings, big muffs and something to make it warble and whoosh.

[Ghost Hip]

I use my Umiom->TAFM. DON'T EVEN NEED WARBLES. JUST BEND DEM STRINGS.

THIS IS WHY THERE ARE TREM ARMS ON JAZZMASTERS, PEOPLE

JUST BEND IT, BEND EM REAL GOOD.

On a serious note, since I don't have a trem arm, I've been playing the intended chord a half step down and bending up. It's pretty fantastic.

[skullservant]

Yeah I bend instead of trem arm. I've just got this really big paranoid fear of trem arming and then everything going out of tune

[futuresailors]

BRO YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON TREM AREM SQUEAKZ.
Is it weird I like that?

[skullservant]

Nah dude, totally legit. I like all the squeaks and tiny noises that guitars make when you aren't playing notes

I once looped some trem arm squeaks and it turned out awesome

i want all the noise
if i could get my shit to sound like an old subway car
on bad clunky tracks
with a crying homeless man
a jesus freak
some dude singin along with his ipod
and a loose door sliding open and closed
id be in heaven
that for me is "the tone"

just gonna add some AB love and say that its so versatile i don't really have any gas for other fuzzes besides the superfuzz. which i now have. so gas satiated.

i also love how frippy/synthy it gets

[ryan summit]

im blushing
i just poke my hand like a chicken
punctuation is on a different screen so i hit retun alot
thats all

I really want to hear a demo of the new reworking of the AB-Synth.

Holy shit what a cool idea.
