BUZZSAW (Buzzaround)
The Buzzsaw is a tribute to the almighty Baldwin Burns Buzzaround fuzz. The circuit remains true to the original but the optional addition of a master volume control provides the modern player with much more control, versatility and utility.
These pedals cut through a mix like an axe through bone. The Buzzsaw has a tight low end, fat mids and sustain for days. The result is a thick and chewy fuzz that provides both vintage and modern fuzz sounds. These have the typical controls of the Buzzaround: Timbre (Tone), Balance (Bias) and Sustain (Fuzz) along with an optional Master Volume (players choice). The Master Volume allows the player to use the full range of sounds available without the potential for a huge unwanted increase in volume occurring at higher gain settings.
The beating heart of the pedal consists of three hand-selected NOS germanium transistors chosen to provide maximum fuzz while retaining note/chord clarity and rich harmonic content. The pedal uses only top quality components and shielded wire for low noise operation.
