TEAM AWESOME FUZZ MACHINE Appreciation Thread

Post by stanimal »

i'm gonna get things rolling here... a few of us are lucky enough to possess this pedal and many of you have remained in the shadows for fear of others taking away your "precious" but it's time to step forward and fill everyone else in on how amazing these are....

you can check out Fuzzhuggers demo vids and buy them here:
http://fuzzhugger.com/pedal-tafm.html

Some will say (our bassist friends mostly) that it's a pedal designed for bass but that would be grossly undervaluing it for it is so versatile when demo'd last night it sounded amazing through bass guitar and single coil/humbucker guitars..

the knobs tweak your tone in very usable ways, giving you a diverse mix of fuzz but nothing that makes your cat commit suicide with one wrong twist of the knob...

i'll be posting pics of my particular TAFM (thanks Brian :thumb: ) as well as a few demo vids (a few because it's that good)...

but let's see if the rest of you can check in and give us your thoughts, pics, vids or settings preferences... if you are considering buying one, here would be a good place to ask us about them.... TRUST ME, you WANT to ask....

Smallsound/Bigsound deserves a place to check in and hear from us from time to time, let's see if this thread can be it until their company expands and they become permanent builders here in the great halls of Fuzzdom....

and dare i say it, this is the pedal i was waiting for, i wanted a Workhorse once but THIS is what i really wanted....

I'll chime in, Stan... the TAFM is the fuzz sound in my head, hands down. The funniest thing is, it's not a one trick pony, there are multitudes of different fuzz tones in here if you take the time to twiddle the knobs. I haven't even scratched the surface of mine yet.

Great Pedal and Brian is a helluva guy. :thumb:

I'll chime in with some love for the TAFM. Very versatile, great on synth as well. Love the clean blend on bass, just a little clean and a massive wall of fuzz :evil:
buncha stuff...

team awesome fuzz machine is hands down my favorite pedal and it has been since they day i got it about 2 months ago!!! :joy:

(i can say this now with all honesty as the FUZZHUGGASAURUS has not shown up yet!) ;)

i throw it pretty much at the end of my chain and man does it love getting a push!!! :joy:

the clean blend is fantastic and when you flip the phase switch look out!!! :joy:

here are a few clips i posted in the fav dirt combo thread... :cool:

ok, so it does not really show off the tafm alone but it works so well with a wolf computer pushing it!!! :joy:

i will try to get up some clips of the awesome by itself up over weekend!!! ;)

and if you want to hear it pushed by something in my sig or some devi's i will do pedal stacking requests!!! :hug:

Not trying to put pressure on anyone, but many/most/all could sell out quickly...so it's first come, first serve. I'll try to keep things updated!

Those bronze splatters look even cooler in real life, think our resident deadman had one of the first, nice original touch that just shows you a bit of smallsound/bigsounds potential for innovation... And makes ss/bs right at home here at ILF....
