Tom decided against the Ant Hill. I remember. Cause I was supposed to get one

I think I needed to do one more PCB revision, and then it got buried in an avalanche of life.
You should see the pedals I DON'T release.

I see you point with the Ant Hill. I'll help you solve it Thomas.

You need to get a OverHugger on my board.

Here is the design brief.
I want to be able to hit it with pretty hot pickups and not have to roll off the volume to still be in overdrive territory.
I've gotta be able to get the treble into Jesus Lizard ah-fuck-my-ears-hurt-but-in-the-good-way zone
I've gotta be able to get that clean but massive bass that if I recorded with it someone would say it was "burly" and that my riffs were "angular", even if they are two power chords.
Plenty of range on the gain knob, but in the OD sense - I don't want to have the first 10% of the travel being od and the rest being amp explosions. Amp explosions are why you have an Arc Flash.

K thanks. Bye.

We really should.

If I find a moment of holiday downtime, I'll make a thread showing some of the things that were abandoned, killed-off, back-burnered, forgotten, customs where people backed-out, etc.

For every ONE graphic/finish I've done--of the IDK, hundreds(?) you can see on the FuzzHugger Facebook--there's probably FIVE I haven't done.
Some because they suck, or gave way to better ideas.
Lots of one-offs out there too. (And some one-offs around the shop. As well as my Shelf of Failures.)

And for every model I've released, there are probably three I haven't, for one reason or another...snags in process, bigger priorities overtook it, lack of a good graphic, workload, being suspicious of my "good ideas"...

I like your god. I would worship it more if it wasn't so fattening.



Tom - if this move you're making makes you happy, then I'm happy for you. I really appreciate your integrity.

Sometimes you gotta take the time to make sure there are enough good times. Thanks for the good works, good words, and taking time through the years to keep the fuzz alive.

don't threaten me with a good time.

seriously, this is great news...i've been looking forward to what you'd be doing next for several years now, and am very excited to see what you do next. i've never assembled a main board without at least one FH onboard since i first ordered my Algal Bloom. also proud owner of one of the Ben-painted 3-knob Great Walls and a Velcroscillator.
