to a stupid tribal tattoo!

 

. after looking at ALL my options for a Buzzaround clone, i really am not diggin' the Skinpimp version that much the more i hear it.

this one is way more the voicing i'm looking for.

Those era fuzz thingers are hella expensive.


The skinpimp is cool because it has the volume knob.

The original/most clones do not...you sorta have to balance the tonal controls to get the right volume.

 

 

This is true. I added a master to my upcoming "Reacharound" as you sacrifice biasing options without.

 

I have had both the Skin Pimp (2 CV7003 and 1 B175) and the Montgomery Appliances (Higher gain, 3 AC125 up for grabs, 180 shipped mint)

Ryan shot for a more subtle tuning. It's smooth and the sustain control has many sweet spots like straight up 12:00 nails a good Jimmy Page bender tone. The tranny's cascade very well.

 

Tranny selection is paramount in a Buzzarounds. A well tuned one will sustain with the gain or your guitar volume low with no artifacts or sputtering gated decay. Sockets are a good option if you are to build one..
