fuzzhugger absynth arrived today 
There aren't a lot of bass clips for it so I offer you this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDKFwLpmfjc
the magic is in the volume knob of your guitar/bass.
hope you enjoy |

Cool pedal, but has a pretty specific time and place. Such as Tuesday, in a zoo.

It works best with passive basses. The oscillation section only works with passive electronics.
It is well made and inexpensive. Make sure to get the bass mod if you order one.

I have a clip of the thing oscillating with my active bass, I don't know where you guys are getting that. I'll post the clip later tonight. |

| | Filthy Mutric wangol | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Dutchess County, NY | | I was unable to get the pedal to oscillate (using the volume knob on my bass) while in active mode. Tom at Fuzzhugger even confirmed that this was to be expected, and not a flaw. Not to discount your experience, bigchiefbc, unless of course you are suffereing from auditory hallucinations  \
Here's my old review thread: NPD! FuzzHugger(fx) AB-Synth

Here's my old review thread: NPD! FuzzHugger(fx) AB-Synth | Fwiw I did a search and didn't see your thread.
Maybe I was too quick to post this clip.
Thanks for adding it Here! I will go and listen to yours!!!
& I will def. look into getting it modded for bass.
Do you know what that mod entails?
Maybe I could do it myself and save the postage...

| | | | It should oscillate with active basses, just turn the volume down. At least that's how it is with my 3xFX Fatman
