Got DoomBloom #5 today.

http://www.fuzzhugger.com/pedal-doom-bloom.html

Came at a perfect time as I have the whole day/night to myself to knob twist and riff out.

Here are my early thoughts. I'll come back later to do a proper review and demo.

So far, I am really liking the control scheme and layout. It is dripping with style: beyond, of course the necromantically altered art deco graphic, there is a black circle of doom for the controls and double red doom leds that are sunk into the pedal surface with a film overtop to dim the leds. Fuck yes! I wish all my pedal's LEDs were dimmed and flush like this!

As for sounds, I have to spend a lot more time with it, but I am finding it to work well going into a dirty amp tone - even high gain with the right settings. It can get splatty in an organic way - still trying to dial the splat in right. Oh yeah, it likes humbuckers. I usually stick with a neck P90 on Fuzz tones, but I am digging my bridge HB when I feed it into the metal amp tone.

Versatile and dripping with style = win

More later

Actually, I did have something special in mind....
Wanted to play with a regular bloom first, though.
See if my ideas could be done with its sound au naturale.

What about a Doom Bloom + Flangerine (and/or PhaseHugger) double?

FuzzHugger demand in general has made it hard for me to make the Doom Bloom available...a few people have gotten their hands on one by emailing at just the right time (I've done 1-2 a month for a few months now...I've got two shipping in a week or so). I've come to realize, I've only got 2 slots per month for Doom Blooms and I don't see that changing soon.

December's filled, and I can build two in January if anyone wants to grab a spot. tom @ fuzzhugger :hello: com

Always down for combos! :cool: Usually makes for a fun project, and I always try to figure in a price break.

This would be a great combo. I have a regular algal, and a suneater and between the two of them they cover looooooots of ground.
Do it! :thumb:
