Thorpy is bringing back his take on the Burns Buzzaround!
“What is EAO? EAO stands for Explodes All at Once, in short it's one of my favourite germanium circuits ever, the venerable Burns Buzzaround. It doesn't clean up, it's not subtle, it has a savagery far ahead of its time. they are instant plug in and grin pedals.”
In case you guys want to know more about this magnificent beast of a muff!
For me this one is easy: Carcosa! Goes from cleanup to doom, works anywhere in the chain, versatile AF!
Contact sheet fuzz is based on op-amp big muff (V4) with tone bypass setting, but instead actual tone bypass there is tone control like in Tremond/Rat circuit - neat and effective solution with no mid scoop. Whole pedal is built on Tremond’s 'engine’, meaning the same blend circuit with parallel boost path and its dedicated low pass filter. Awesome for bass and awesome for additional depth in crushing guitar sounds. Toggle switch engages two types of high pass filter at fuzz side for some extra flexibility.
Awesome blog from SUF!
There’s also the Dirty Boy Jr Overdrive, which has a voltage knob! https://youtu.be/lKSOpcIMhas?si=sLU0DQjXi1QBmZ6s
Overdrive/distortion/treble booster! Sounds kinda like a console fuzz or a tweed amp exploding 😍
Sounds pretty cool! 😎
Really cool project!
Tru-fi makes amazing pedals!
The Gigahearts Soviet Sparrow seems amazing!
For me it was the DOD Carcosa. The versatility, price ($100 at the time), the cleanup, the DOO)))M, the fact that you can put it anywhere in your chain…
To be fair, there are other amazing Muffs made by awesome companies like: Wren & Cuff, Stomp Under Foot, Seeker Electric, Thorpy, Caroline GCo, JPTR, KMA, Blue Colander, etc, etc, etc… I can only pick 6 at a time!
For me, it was the Frantone Peachfuzz and the Burns Buzzaround!
