Magnetic Effects Release Limited Clone of Buzzaround Pedal

The Buzzer is a limited-edition clone of the Baldwin Burns Buzzaround fuzz with added master control and polarity reverse circuit. A punchy, fierce fuzz with excellent tone and definition.

This enables you to run the pedal on a standard 9V DC center negative adapter and even daisy chain it with other pedals.

An added master volume control allows you to harness different tones that were difficult to obtain on the originals. The balance control acts as a volume and bias control. As you increase the balance control you increase the volume as well as alter the tone. The master control allows you to explore the tones from the higher settings of the Balance control at a more manageable volume.
