FH(fx) Algal Bloom Fuzz Pedal

It seems that fuzz is back in fashion. I predict that the next musical genre to be re-visited, just like all the retro rock a few years ago and the current reincarnation of electro, will be grunge. If that is the case, I think you could expect to be hearing this pedal.

The tones are typical of that 90's Seatle sound, reminding me of bands like Mudhoney and Mark Arm's brutal attack on the senses.

Show us your Muff! (or my muff is better than your muff)

I've been going back lately and listening to a lot of the music I grew up on. We're talking early to mid 90's alt rock grunge type stuff. I always hated the term gruunge. Nirvana were grunge. Apprently so were Pearl Jam, SoundGarden, Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees.... None of those bands sounded anything like the other. But I digress. What has started to appeal to me again is the old muff tones of the day. It's good to see people still getting into the tones, as these two pedals show. I know the EH pedal is the classic muff/fuzz tone, but I really enjoy the Earthquaker Devices Hoof Fuzz. I think the notes cut through just that bit clearer.

I always wanted a Bixsonic Fuzz (I think that was what it was called - the guys from Bush used them). I think they just got re-release. I'm sure I talked about the re-release on here but I can't find it. Guess I'll just pull out my old Tech-21 XXL for a bash.
