| The Hugger |
| The Hugger+ Prototype In Stock. One-of-a-Kind! Adapter power only. We've teamed up with Mellowtone to bring you something special. Dual boost loop. Pedal Awakener. It's got two toggle-switchable boost circuits built by Mellowtone, and a toggle-switchable true bypass loop in between them! An original multi-use, multi-function effects tool! Created by Tom Dalton of FuzzHugger, and developed with Mellowtone, who built the first prototype. At the heart of each Hugger is two boost circuits built by Mellowtone. The result is a truly unique multi-function dual boost. The first of its kind! Run it as... • A single-stage boost. • A dual-stage boost (with boost and master controls). • A true bypass loop with a pre-boost and post-boost! • A pedal awakener! Put a pedal in the loop─drive its input and/or adjust its output volume without changing its tone (fix a pedal's volume drop!). • Two separate boosts. Put a few pedals (or all your pedals!) in the loop and use it like two separate boost pedals─choose the location of both boosts! And...another use coming soon! Our builders are on it. |
| • Multi-function operation with 3 toggles! • Single-stage boost. • Dual-stage boost. • Pedal booster: pre & post boost. • Two separately placed boosts. • Hand-Painted, hand finished using pigment inks and acrylic adhesives. Every Hugger is one- of-a-kind! • Created and built by FuzzHugger. Developed with Mellowtone. • Features an exclusive boost circuit designed and built by Mellowtone. |

Notes from Tom Dalton...
I got the idea for what became the Hugger a while ago, but had no interest in competing as an unknown pedal builder...so I kept the idea to
myself. But after FuzzHugger came into being, I got thinking about the pedal again. We didn't intend to compete as a pedal builder─we've got
fantastic builders, and usually have no reason to chime in─but nobody else was making a pedal like the Hugger. That's when the idea of a
collaboration came about. And I thought Mellowtone was the perfect builder to design a low-noise boost circuit! (Thankfully, Eric was into the
idea and agreed to the project!)
Thanks to Mellowtone prototyping the design and building the boost circuits, the Hugger is now the first creation by FH(fx). And FH(fx) was
created as a result, specifically to develop new pedals with FuzzHugger builders!
Getting more specific about the pedal... Given its low price, you can buy one to use as your main clean boost. But the Hugger was also
designed to work with other pedals, whether it be driving inputs or fixing volume drops. So our primary goal was for low-noise boost stages.
Rather than go for the biggest boost, we went for the cleanest, lowest-noise, boost circuit possible. This was Eric's and my main objective
when we discussed the boost circuits.
A multi-operation dual boost loop, the Hugger is a pedal that's genuinely unique, but also very practical─it's an effects tool that's priced as a
tool...we're very proud of it, but we're not going to price it arrogantly high.
Finally, Mellowtone and Devi Ever get huge thanks for their support and involvement with this project. The pedal wouldn't exist without
Mellowtone (and FuzzHugger.com wouldn't exist without Devi!). Devi also had some valuable input on the naming process! Speaking of
Mellowtone and Devi, there might be a bit more in store from them when it comes to uses for the Hugger!
