On hcfx somebody who (I think) owned both the mellowtone and fuzzhugger wolfy claimed they heard a difference

"The Fuzzhugger has more mids and treble... Slightly thicker... The Mellowtone is a little bassier/smoother... Fuzzhugger has way more volume and fuzz on tap though..."

I thought the circuit was supposed to be the same? Just curious.

Can you link to that topic?

The Wolf Computer circuit was designed 100% by Mellowtone...so I wont speak for Eric, since he designed it, but I'm pretty sure the circuit's identical.
(I just opened up a Mellowtone WC and FuzzHugger(fx) WC...looks like the same exact circuit.)

Early on, Eric mentioned wanting to change a pot value "for better control"...not 100% if he did.

Will answer definitively shortly.

There is a perceived increase of volume, due to the difference between an Audio and a Linear volume pot...no actual difference in output. Same value pot.

The tone is in the enclosure.

Just got confirmation that the circuit is 100% "the same circuit through and through."

There is one non-sound-affecting change, which is a bleed-through killer, so sounds don't bleed through when the pedal's off.

LOL

Updated Wolf Computer pics & graphics!

as long the Fuzzhugger Wolf Computer "motorboats" & does all of that atari arpeggio-type crazy stuff that the discontinued Mellowtone did then i am getting it.

Yes!

I bet some TGPer will be bashing the FH WC for no bleed-through though.

i doubt TGPrs are into wolf computers anyway heh

now that they're discontinued they are.

i'm new and building a fuzz library. i ordered my wolf computer a day or two ago, and i think it might become my instant favorite! thanks for saving it before i missed it altogether!
