Buzzaround
This is a detailed replica of the original 1965 Burns Buzzaround pedal that to many is the HOLY GRAIL OF EFFECTS.
The Buzzaround is a unique fuzz which utilised 3 x NKT213 transistors and for the first time offered a timbre control which gives different dimension to your fuzz tone. The Buzzaround also came in a unique wedge shaped casing with controls on the front. This added to the pedals uniqueness. and was most famously used by Robert Fripp.
BPC Buzzaround.
- Folded metal casing
- Sustain, Balance and Timbre controls
- 3x NKT213 Transistors
- As used by the Robert Fripp
- Limited production
- Certificate of authenticity
Many people ask us how each transistor differs in tone. Everyone’s ears are different but here is our small guide
OC75: Bright and high gain, snappy in tone, sounds raspy in a 3 transistor circuit such as the MKI.5
OC81D: Smooth gain lots of saturation
2G381: This is what gives the MKI its sag when you bend a note. They are key to the MKIs Tone.
OC44: Bright and Driven Tone
OC71: More Shrill and Glassy then an OC44
ACY41: Bright, Raspy, and in your face (ideal for fuzz)
2n4061: Silicon-based, used in the Shatterbox for crazy amounts of thick fuzz
