Oscillating fuzz dojo - The Atrocity Exhibition

[sonidero]

Kinda me too... Anybody wanna pay, I'll play...

We need an ILF AirBnb...

[Eivind August]

Can't you like... fly with your crystals and shit? Or can you only slightly hover? I heard that if you gather 36 crystals, you can choose between teleportation or transforming into a soaring eagle. But yeah, ILF AirBnBjs might work too.

[sonidero]

That's just Dimensions, maybe I can fold it for Urantia travelling...

Was looking for my Graceland LP but found Osibisa...

[Eivind August]

Travel to a dimension only containing two crystals. Figure out which is left and which is right, and the powers of the universe shall be bestowed upon you.

I was listening to Graceland, but now I'm checking out Osibisa. Smooth.

I spent a huge chunk of the day today watching these demos and taking notes on each of the pedals. Your demos are amazing, Eivind! They're a really valuable asset to better understanding, categorizing, and choosing oscillating fuzz. Well done! I have two oscillating fuzzes-Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown and Devi Ever Destructo Noctavia. I love them both but the Soundwave Breakdown is much more useable. Destructo Noctavia is the most insane, pissed off angry harsh pedal I have, kind of in line with the MASF Epilepsy and Thornoscillator, but different. Soundwave Breakdown has this beautiful frying bacon-like texture that I love.

The next oscillating fuzz I get will definitely be the AB Synth. I don't have any Fuzzhuggers yet but I think they're amazing and have most of their main pedals on my wishlist. At some point I'll be picking up the new V2 Algal Bloom, but I haven't decided which version of the AB-Synth to get yet...

Probably one of these versions:

1. Sonic Shroom



2. AB-Synth Deluxe




3. AB-Synth Supreme



Any advice/comments on these pedals to help me decide which version to get? I must admit, I love the artwork for the Deluxe and Supreme, but don't like the Sonic Shroom look quite as much.

Fucking piece of shit phone. I just typed out a lengthy response to you, and then accidentally hit the forum index. It's gawn. But I'll try again.

Anyway, thanks alot man, glad to hear my demos are helpful.

Definitely get an AB-Synth/Sonic Shroom. You will not regret it. I guess your choice depends on how much tweakability you want versus how much you want to pay, and also how long you're willing to wait. I would think a simple four knobber would be enough for most sounds, but if you want some extra knobbage it's definitely worth it. Just a heads up, if you order direct from Tom at fuzzhugger.com (it even rhymes!), you can probably get any number of knobs on the Sonic Shroom plus a kick ass custom graphic. And you'd support one of the best builders out there directly. He's a busy man these days, but the wait will be worth it. Worth it so hard, duder. YEAH!

I really like my AB-Synth 5k.
For my kind of sound... I really need 5k.
The fifth knobs really help taming the beast.

[goroth]

I have a four knob an synth and I think the fifth would open up the pedal a lot. Get a 5k or more. Virtually impossible to regret.

[Eivind August]

You will never regret moar knobs.

[Sparrow]

I really like my AB-Synth 5k.
For my kind of sound... I really need 5k.
The fifth knobs really help UNLEASH! the beast.

fix'd

Dude Eivind, these demos are so sick!

Dude Eivind, these demos are so sick!

Thanks, dinoman!

My Noise Swash will finally arrive this week. First time they sent it to Sweden by mistake, so it ended up back in the US. Luckily 4ms has amazing customer service and are really helpful guys, so they resent it the moment it came back to them. Can't wait to get my hands on it, seems like one of the more unique oscillating fuzzes out there.

The last two on the list should also be on their way fairly soon, so I will hopefully "finish" this quest before I have to figure out what to do with my life in the middle of august. Given the results of my life choices after that, more demos may appear.

Ok, this guy is pretty insane. Sorta like the Thornoscillator, but with more control and options. Loads of knobs, but easy enough to understand. Pretty intuitive, and though it can make random surges of the purest noise, it's pretty easy to tame. Like the MASFs and TGD, machine noises, stutters and fucked up sci-fi sounds is this pedals strength. It can also do a mean stoner/doom-tone with the preclip switch flipped up. Instant sound effects maker, super responsive to your playing and knob fiddling, and there's a picture of a kitten beneath. Sweet.

Another cool demo Eivind, nicely done as usual. I want one. So many sounds and knobs to twiddle.
