The pedal you didn't think was coming back...or didn't know ever existed!

It's been just over FIVE years since I discontinued my first pedal--the Hugger--to focus on meeting demand for the Algal Bloom. (Hand-painting and a wiring-intensive design made for a long build-time.) I always planned to bring it back (as quickly as possible!) with a smarter layout and smaller size. Time got away from me. But here we are, getting into FuzzHugger's 6th year! I'm happy to say it's BACK!

I only built 30-35 of them in the first place, which is weird, cause it feels like the pedal that put me on the map. The Algal Bloom and AB-Synth might've had more to do with that, but there was a surprising amount of interest in the Hugger and it sold really quickly (those were different days in the pedal world). Anyyyway! It's a fantastic tool.

Here is is.

Two toggle-activated boost stages with a toggle-activated loop between them, for many combinations and uses.

Where do I buy this?

Awesome!

Have you ever tried stacking 3 of these? Will there be a pre-order? Will there be a "light"version without the loop? Could I have more questions?

Also posted on FB.

Price range? So I can save pennies!!

I did four in one enclosure once, so I could always do a few in one by custom request.
There won't be a pre-order, exactly...they'll be available next week, but I'll only have a couple. I don't have the time to pre-build a large batch, so it could end up on a wait-list pretty quickly.

I could build one without the loop. Then it's not exactly able to "hug" anything, but a sweet boost anyway.

Not sure on price yet. I'll update as soon as I figure it out!

Could you explain the switches again? Forgot how it worked.

sharp design, yet again!

The footswitch is a master on/off. The toggles then select what's active. (If all the toggles are down (off), the signal still passes unaffected.)

IN--->Boost--->Loop--->Boost--->OUT

Using the toggles, you can run it as:
Boost--->Loop--->Boost--->OUT
Boost--->Loop--->OUT
Loop--->Boost--->OUT
Boost--->OUT
Boost--->Boost--->OUT (Boost--->Master--->OUT)
Loop--->OUT

So, you gonna make some hugger modules?

Friggin' GORGEOUS!

Gorgeous pedal and a great idea too!

Ah geeze that's awesome Tom!

Probably not. If I had an intern or two, I'd make a few teeny tinies.
