The Algal Bloom is a harmonically rich, wide-range fuzz! From mellow to gritty overdrives, to "just right" thickness, to mind-altering harmonic fuzz tones! An open tone with a full body...fantastic definition and note-separation. Unique interactive controls allow you to alter the response and texture of the fuzz. Surging fuzz textures, all the way up to a throaty roar! The BASS BLOOM delivers just what bassists have been asking for: that Algal Bloom tone, with more low-end and smooth clean blending to seriously open up your sound! With the new Clean knob, you can get the perfect MIX of pure bass and big fuzz! The Controls! • Gain: Gain adjustment and clean-up! As you back it off, it cleans up your fuzz, also adding a hint of sputter and fizzle. Hard right is full-on! • Bloom (Fuzz): Expands and pushes your fuzz tone, adding gain, sustain, and definition. Hard right is maxed out...a unique, throaty, brash-yet-full tone! 12 o'clock is its "home setting," for thick fuzz tone! • Starve (Texture): Limits the amount of power that reaches the circuit, creating some beautifully sick fuzz textures that mimic a dying battery (slight scratch as circuit rebiases). • Clean: Your volume control for clean, smoothly blending clean unfuzzed tone! • Fuzz Volume: Your volume control for fuzz! |

| "It's fantastic! All that great signature clarity is there, and it goes from a nice light grind to a huge mean fuzz! You really hit a home run with this." --Matt H., CA "It sounds super cool and looks great." --Dave U., CA "It sounds as awesome as it looks. Or looks as awesome as it sounds." --Anthony L., AUS "The Bass Bloom sounds great. The Clean blend is done so friggin' well... I like how you can actually boost the clean signal above unity and it doesn't change the tone at all." --Christian A., MI "The Bass Bloom offered endless textures of fuzz, while effectively preserving the low end of both basses. [It] allows you to create a spectrum of different fuzz tones that work well with both active and passive basses. Bassists from rock to funk camps can find a number of useful sounds within its responsive controls, all at a price point that is competitive with its peers." --Premier Guitar Review, October '12 |
| What users are saying... |
| One Slight B-Stock Available! (Slight smudge in print) |
| Formidable fuzz with both basses. Starting with the Warwick fretless, I was able to create tones ranging from synthy P-Funk to flatulent, Les "...the Bloom and Gain dials created some Claypool-like dirt. And when I went to my detuned Nash, boosting the Bloom evoked a burly buzz that was capable of handling any stoner-rock gig. I could even cop a Cliff Burton- esque tone by combining the Bass Bloom with a wah pedal. FuzzHugger’s latest offering for bassists also tracked low barre chords and double-stops with quickness and definition." |
