Awesome I LOVE the AB... I run it into the Great Wall and freak out... But it's now my "allways on" pedal and I might get another couple, or ask Tom to make a dual AB cascaded or a Fuzzhugger with a couple of AB's in the loop?

Anyway you'll love it too.!.

My Algal Bloom arrived! Saw one on the 'bay and snagged it for $95. It doesn't seem to have a number but it's a common 4 knob floral print. Really great looking little thing.

So I plug it in like this: guitar>Phantom Octave>Algal Bloom>ABSynth>Boss DD5>QTron+>Line 6 M9 (I'll talk about that thing later . All of this is direct into two Behringer DI's through my PA. The order of the FH pedals was natural enough to get the best out of each.

I start playing to see where I'm at and it's really good, right away. I put the level and gain at 2, bloom at noon, then started messing with the starve. I never had a fuzz with a starve and I really like what I came up with parking at 9 o'clock. Then began the Rock! or similar! This is exactly what I've been looking for, seriously. It's rich in harmonics and the controls have a much bigger sweep than the ABSynth. Wonderful note separation and punch. The Peavey T-60 has a multitude of pickup configs and it plays really nicely with all my FHs.

My lovely wife was in the room and she said that it "Sounds..like..sublime." Now I love Sublime, but what I was playing did not sound like them. She clarified, "Not like Sublime, but the sound is sublime, like you, but you playing guitar in heaven." . Then I kicked in the Phantom Octave and she said, "Now that's the Sex one. That one (the AB) sounds like you have a chorus of angels and that one (the PO) sounds like you're shooting lightning." Thanks for your encouraging feedback, babe! Then, sex and sex. Yay me!

Anyways, thanks everyone, for helping me pick the Algal Bloom. I was inspired to write a slogan for Tom.

Fuzzhugger (fx): Makes Chicks Horny.

Sweet! NEXT, talk Tom over to do a custom job, namely the Groundswell and You'll never need/want another overdrive, and don't sit too log on that decision - You will not regret it. But this time I'll try not to go to the full length rally mode about it's superiority...

Finally, it comes up. I posted this before but I'm surprised nobody mentioned this earlier.

I guess if it's up to me, it always comes up because I'm a silly bugger in love with Toms creations I've got

i am afraid that tom no longer builds groundswells.

very happy with my groundswell that is in the blurzyhugger custom. after tom made the groundswell oscillator for deadman i bribed him to mod the blurzyhugger for groundswell oscillation and it is probably my meanest oscillator!

however bassus, i would love to hear what your custom groundswell running into the fuzzhuggasaurus would sound like!!!

I bet You would, wouldn't 'you? I bet it'd be awesome, though.

Nope. but such a transatlantic long distance relationship between our pedals
