Agreed! I hope everyone on this list gets a chance to try it.

And that they will write about it and record some clip.

Tom, given you're even willing to do this again, maybe next time you could consider giving 'dibs' on a tourbox for folks who got left out of this one?

Some of us do understand how this is supposed to work and respect what it means for your business...wish I could apologize for the rest.

Damn Ben, I saw you posted in here and thought the tour box had finally hit Worcester. Did it get lost again? :(

I can't seem to find the little video I made when I had these :( though I shall keep looking. In the mean time...

Tremulust and Velcrobot were the best (of the ones new to me. The AbSynth 5k is still to this day one of my all time fav fuzzes). When the wallet allows it, I will be picking up both...and maybe an AbSynth for the 3rd time, haha. So many weird, or normal, rhythms possible with the Tremulust. It really opened my creativity up; along with the Bot of Awesome Velcro. That thing will make your hair stand on end. All of the knobs on the Bot are very interactive, and help make for one hell of a fuzz. The gate is really useful as well.

That Great Walrus was badass too! No nonsense all out fuzz, with a wild little something special at the end of the dial :evil: Made me regret never trying the old Great Wall/Fuzz Huger.

The Doom Bloom, I honestly played this one the least...too wrapped up in the other's (they just suit my playing more). That being said, it sounds great and has a lot to offer for those who take the time. The name is very fitting. I had this one stacked with one or two of the others at times and it was :rock: :whoa: :rock:

Clean Hugger is a neat boost/od/utility box. Nice boost, and with the loop, could really take other pedals to new territory. Everyone should probably have one of these. If not on the board, at least available in their stash.

At the end of it all, these boxes do something that I always seek for in new effects; Make me want to play. I felt almost instantly connected and inspired. Much love Tom :hug: sorry for the delay in review and lack of visual stimuli.

Okay, I know what's up with the tourbox this time. Nick moved recently. In his defense, he assumed the tourbox was never going to make it to him given what a longass time it's been and he should had it months ago. So we've got one of those limbo moments.

I'm sorry for the frustration and long waits. I know life can get in the way, and the one-week-per-person thing gets bent...some legit things happen that excuse delayed shipping.

I want to keep it positive, but I admit, the abysmally slow rate of the tourbox isn't doing FuzzHugger many favors, and even messed with my release plans for two models, which should've been out before Christmas. Which is a bummer. There is shit and sometimes it happens.

I REALLY appreciate all comments and vids thus far.

TD, if you know what's up with it, that's really all that matters.

I admit to some disappointment but was trying to express your frustration--which is silly, because of course you are more than capable of articulating your own feelings.

Given the rate at which it was moving, I had pretty much given up on seeing the tourbox months ago. I'm glad to hear there actually is some hope :joy:

Tourbox whereabouts officially known, headed back to the last guy who had it (not looking at my list right now, but maybe darkfield?). I'll pay him to ship it on so he doesn't get stuck paying shipping twice. Then we're back on the rails.
