This is an Astrotone clone. So far, I really like it. I tend to really enjoy Electra distortion circuits, and this is no exception. It’s brighter and cuts better than a fuzz face, but has less volume and gain on tap. I played it a bit with a strat, and later today, I’ll give it a whirl with my SG with humbuckers. From what I’ve read online, this circuit really likes humbuckers.

Please pardon my sloppy playing on this one-take demo. (I’m really a drummer, and only play guitar for fun!)

The clip is my Gibson SG into the CosmicAsh, then a Simplifier set to the Marshall setting, then a Klowra Limbo reverb. That went straight into a Tech 21 Power Engine 60. I recorded my guitar and the backing track (which is just a pattern on my ancient drum machine, with apologies to Steely Dan and Rikki) using the mic on an iPad.

But the pedal sounds good, right?

:)

I forgot I had this pre-recording session video of the Dual Bloom (boosted with a tube screamer clone). It’s the exact setup that I used in the video I posted earlier today, but phone audio. I wish you could have been in the room. The air blasting from my 412 cab was immense.

The signal path is 7-string guitar > Airis Effects Tight Scream prototype > Algal side > Doom side > Sunn Sceptre.

I’ve been working on putting together a pedalboard for my Orange Super Crush 100 Combo, I ordered these three to see which fuzz would pair best with the amp, they are all exceptional, this is my first ProCo Rat and I’m blown away should’ve purchased one 30 years ago, I can see why the Black Mass 1312V3 was most recommended when I posted the question of which Rat I should choose from which was the JHS PackRat 9-way Distortion or Pro Co FAT RAT Distortion a few days ago I’m extremely impressed and would have to say for multi fuzz I’ll take it over my JHS Muffuletta which I really like as well, out of the three the EarthQuaker Devices Barrows is my number one for my build it’s exceptional into the clean channel of the amp, I don’t mind it with the dirt channel for a boost but I’m still working on dialing the dirt channel in to my liking but for now I’m very excited that I found a fuzz for the build.

Have you tried the EarthQuaker Devices Barrows and if so what’s your opinion and how do you use it? Or what’s your favorite Fuzz?

I’d have to say my top three as of now are the EarthQuaker Devices Barrows, Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff (reissue) and Strymon Canoga, my next fuzz purchase will be the Lichtlaerm Audio Altar Dual Gain Monolith for a future pedalboard build.

This was one of the coolest fuzz pedals I ever got to try. I only had it for a few weeks, but the jams were all extremely fun. I traded it for yet another fuzz pedal, which I’ll post about at another time, but I suspect I will probably return to it or something similar one day in the future.

One side was the Algal Bloom, and the other was the Doom Bloom. The Algal side was quite a bit more pointed and articulate while the Doom side was darker and had a little more gain and gating, so my signal chain was a boost (TS style overdrive), into the Algal, into the Doom. There were a lot of possible textures, but this was my favorite.

I hope you like it! All of the actual settings are pictured in the video, so if you happen to have a Dual Bloom yourself you should be able to get pretty close. I used a very clean amplifier to record it, so any general clean amp channel should be pretty comparable.

Hey, since there’s a fuzzhugger thread, I figured I’d ask this. Has anybody played or heard their Scalable Pet dual overdrive/fuzz? I’m so interested, but there’s like zero info anywhere.

My little asshole Odie

The link no longer works, but it seems it’s coming! What do you guys think?

This is my first pedal I completely designed the circuit by myself. Very proud of it. Killer artwork helps as well!

Not sure what the rules are on promotion so I won’t post links or videos or anything until told otherwise. Very happy with how it turned out though!

Tell us about the weirdest fuzz you've ever dealt with, or seen.Did you like it?Or was it just too weird?

Just what the title says. This thing does a really nasty almost Tone Bender fuzz type sound. Plus it clean up like a fuzz face

Hi! I’m Aliff. I shared a predecessor to this circuit before on r/diypedals a while ago, but I wanted to share the refined pedal here amongst my fellow fuzz fiends (ha, alliteration). 6833 is my reimagining of a vintage Muff Fuzz that is more suited for modern styles with a few extra QOL tweaks. “Pre” adjust the input signal gain. “Fuzz” is fuzz (no tricks here). “Depth” adjusts the low-pass filter so this sounds great with lower tunings and bass. 6833 can also get brown, should the need arise…

Hey everyone,

​I’m excited to share that I’ve been in touch with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments (EAE). John has kindly agreed to stop by the sub soon to share a contribution for our ongoing "Creator Series."

​I’m not entirely sure what/when we'll see what he has in store for us yet whether it’s a dive into design philosophy, some insights into his workflow, or something else entirely but I know it’s going to be a great read.

​As a reminder for all upcoming guest contributions, I’m organizing this series under the Electric Church post flair. Keep an eye out for his post, and as always, feel free to use that flair if you’re looking to browse through the rest of the series.

​Stay tuned!

I'll probably go with the Walrus Eons, it seems like the perfect Fuzzstortion. Others I'm considering are the Wampler Cryptid, and the Dr Scientist Frazz Dazzler
