Short answer: Ab-Synth.
However, I'm biased. I drink Absinthe, and I play post-rock. The Oscillation mode is VERY useful to me.
If you don't play noise-rock, and you want a slick fuzz with a different feel, and awesome tone, get the Algal Bloom. Dare I say, it's the best value in fuzz.

If you ask me, Tom should have been the one flipping his shit. Any fuzz Tom makes is cheaper, better sounding( especially in live settings), and prettier to look at. I know, because I've owned a FF and many, many Fuzzhuggers

I bought an absynth first, 2 weeks after it arrived I bought my algal bloom. Pretty much what everyone says sums it up, once you get one, you get the other. I have to wait until Christmas for my bloom (sent it to my parents house and they covered the bill) but Tom's fuzzes are the best I have played/heard. Honestly I hated fuzz before my absynth.

Ha... I was in your same boat. I bought both the Algal and AB at the same time because I seriously just couldn't make up my mind.
