Has anyone on the board got a Mellowtone Wolf Computer fuzz? If so, how do you like it? What's it best for?

Just got mine (thanks Tom and, of course, Eric). In a word, unbelievable! 
In more than a word, it's a super versatile pedal with lots of screaming fuzz, lush overdrives, dying battery and out-of-control Atari sounds, as well as some mysterious untypical tones in between. I really, really like it.

he corksnifferrs over at hcfx are starting to hype it up so maybe...or at least some kinda crazy wait list. I plan on jumping on one once I have the funds, they sound amazing.

Yep, I've spoken with Tom 'bout that... but I was hoping there was some secret stash of Wolf Computers out there so I could snatch one up!
That's o.k., though... I'll wait...
Actually, a couple more weeks is probably good... that's a couple more weeks that I can use to actually raise the ca$$$$h needed!

Agreed. Hoping they're still a lil while off because I'm flat broke at the moment
I've already bought 3 pedals this month and Jan. is only half over...

Okay, so I definitely want a wolf computer now...is there any way to pre order one? I couldn't find anything at fuzzhugger...do I just have to wait 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks and hope that I can snatch one up before they're all gone?

fuzzhugger has done preorders before but I don't think they are doing any for the next batch...should be arriving some time in january i think

Well, mine will be on its way whenever they get them (next week?), and it also appears that the wolf computer has gone up $10 since last year. I still think it's a bargain.

I knew the price looked a bit higher...still totally worth it.
Must resist urge to buy more pedals...need to save up for the new mark V

I'd definitely say the Wolf Computer is worth the wait.
There's something for everyone
- subtle dirty boost, to overdrive and crunchy distortion tones, and further to thick ever-so-slightly synthy fuzz. Very classic and versatile.
Then with the Bias up on its highest settings, it sounds almost like a messy version of the US.
There's also a tiny area where the Sag control makes any regular sound really noisy, nasty and unpredictable (in a great way); before that there's weird oscillation, low octave stuff, and "motorboating".
Chance plays a role too - you happen across an amazing setting but it will probably be a little bit different every other time you try to recreate it. Granted, this might not suit everyone, but to me that's completely part of what makes it great.
