Era Fuzz is one of the first hits on google - never heard that name.

P.S.: just read a. heard good things about creepy fingers...

 

FWIW all buzarounds have a bias control. Its called "Balance" on a Buzzaround.

 

This is the one I make:

So Paul, does this mean you're hanging on to my old SP? It is a great pedal! I'd love to give yours a try some day.

 

 

Yea, I love the art. Beautifully done inside and out. I'm shooting for the same base buzzaround tone with options for bass, treble, a hard gate "seize" switch, master vol. NPN Ge.

 

I would keep the Montgomery too, (it was one of my keepers. The size is great, beautiful build) I'm trying to fund a run of prefabbed mini encloseures and the deposit cleaned me out.

The new ones are really a lot better than those were and I honestly dont like those enclosures very much at all. They are bulky and expensive, they only allow limited knob arrangement, and they have feet so putting velcro on the bottom is never very stable. All my stuff is in small boxes now for more steamlined construction and less wasted board space. The new ones sound better as well.

 

I think the master volume some people tack onto the end of the circuit is sort of useless. If you only play at bedroom volumes then maybe it would be helpful but the controls on the pedal are very effective for getting a wide variety of sounds. The master volume just isn't the way the pedal was designed to work.

Just out of curiosity, how much do your buzzarounds retail for? I couldn't find any prices.

Getting ready to get one out there too. It'll be a heck of a lot cheaper too, Shameless plug is just about over. There is a little demo of it on my facebook page that I recorded with my Iphone. Crappy audio but I did it in a snap.
