Members tattoedsailor Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Any you guys try one? Where does it sit (Fuzzface, BM, Tonebender)? The demos sound great (Andy, Burgerman). I'm really thinking about getting one. Just wanted to get some thoughts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members conky Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Anal Boom But seriously, it's a good pedal. I loved it for lower gain stuff. It paired well with my Pharaoh and gave me some of the hugest tones ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sparkfriction Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 great pedal - Demos did it for me and it is on my list... but more as a collectors item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy Schnikes Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Sounds mean as fuck and fairly unique, similar to a super fuzzy distortion. Not as bassy as a "muff" but a nice amount of low end to work with. Plenty of gain on tap and good clarity throughout gain range results in the AB cutting through the mix with ease. The starve toggle/knob can bring out some weird, synthy gated textures too in extreme settings. Like conky mentioned, it stacks very well, particularly with bass heavy fuzz like a Pharaoh, as they combine frequency ranges for some HUGE and heavy tonez! I actually prefer the AB Synth 5K as you can get most standard AB tones along with the oscillation option, top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gunner Recall Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 great pedal - Demos did it for me and it is on my list... but more as a collectors item Tom totally killed the resale on my vintage AB when he did those reissues...damn that fuzzhugger It's pretty flexible...I mean there is a base "tone" but it is capable of both low gain/od-like tones and a heavy saturated fuzz/distortion. Plenty of definition/clarity for a fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members christianatl Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love mine. I use it for the verses on three of our songs. Like others have said, it cuts through really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheCardiacKid Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 I actually owned the prototype for about 6 months Although it does cutting leads nicely, it actually cleans up really, really nicely. My favorite settings were actually more in the distorted range rather than fuzz. It can do this great kind of grinding dirty tone where you've still got individual note clarity but it sounds aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members six acre lake Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 Andermocs brought one down when we were dicking around recording some synth stuff and it paired great with my Moog Little Phatty. Good and crunchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 LOVE mine. It's kind of like a tweaked Fuzz Face circuit with a Muff-level of gain. I always see "anal bloom" too, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conky Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 favourite pharaoh setting, GO! Top left knob = 11 o clock, top right = 1 o clock, fuzz = 2 o clock, volume = 3 o clock. switches.... i cant remember, diodes were in, not sure about the other. It hasn't been on my board in a while. It's on my bass board. I really need to try it with my Black Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 100 dollar cars Posted December 21, 2011 Members Share Posted December 21, 2011 i bought the reissue. great pedal. it can give you that muff sound if you want it, and the starve control is sexy. it can get bassy but it really does cut through, like some have said. it could have a little more gain on tap, but {censored} it. it still works well. it kicks ass on bass too. if you want severity, buy a phantom arcade. another hot-damn pedal.
