They don't really sound quite like any other brand of fuzz, and tend to sit nicely in a mix.
so much this

I have a kidnapper i could maybe be convinced to trade (or sell, but preferably trade).
It's the gnarliest sub octave i have heard in my life. The only problem is it doesn't have a blend control so its suboctave or nuthin'. But it tracks well and can cut through the mix if you turn up the 'saw' control.

Nicely done, sir. Never listened to clips of this one before. Now it must be mine.

...Now which kidney do I use least?

I'm so meh on LAL fuzz pedals, I think they're so weak sounding, no match for Copilot FX, Metasonix or Trogotronic in my opinion.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

Man, I know you don't really get rid of pedals, but if you ever want to flip that, hit me up.

Thanks fellas, got A LOT of good ideas. in fact, i got from totally clueless to 'dang I gotto catch em all' :facepalm:

I like what I hear in that MASF clip, but yeah if only had somekind of blend control :s
I'm actually plesantly surprised about that dod bozz box, weird that it stayed under my radar for so long. Does that fall into the pricey rare vintage category, or the cheap junky thrift store category. If it's the latter, I'm adding it to my wish list for cheapos to try out one day.

PM'd.

Not sure if the velcrobot is the way to go though. That glitchy gated velcro trick sounds extremely good imo, but the reason why I didn't keep my old Wolf Computer or even my fuzz factory, and why I dont use my Fuzz God II as much as I would like: They don't cut through a loud mix AT ALL :cry:
It's not an ego thing, I don't always have to sit on top of the mix or anything, but there's also no point in using a really nice fuzz pedal when it'll be completely unaudible at rehearsels or shows :ikd:

I could see it working in a noise rig, or a two/three piece band with just one guitar. But with a loud drummer, a second guitar, and me playing rhtym/chords...All these super gnarly sounding fuzz factory derivates (can I call 'em that?) just don't work for me :idk:

Anything else by fuzzhugger I might want to check?

No, but if you want to send me one I'll give it the go around :joy:
I only have a couple mke pedals, one i would really like is the decomposer but it's not an immediate thing. It looks like the kind of pedal I would get a lot of use out of and I'll probably get around to ordering one.
