Wow!
Maybe we need a Laowiz ilf run with the outcome of this...

No, no we don't.
My bank account can't do it, but I don't think my willpower is strong enough to resist.

Btw guys...
What are the easily available and affordable buzzaround clones out there? ie, no waiting lists or insane price tags. Preferably no diy either, for sake of flip-ability

Ghost Effects makes a great sounding affordable Dizzy Tone.frigid midget wrote:Btw guys...

Lowbrow effects makes one that I thought sounded alright. For 125usd.

The Jext Telez Dizzytone can be had currently at decent pricing while available. It is quite the physical specimen. I have come to love that one on bass.frigid midget wrote:Btw guys...

digi2t, you rock! Eagerly awaiting to see where else your experimentations take you on this one!

I'm getting close. Got the brain trust over at diysb helping me out on this one too.

Yet another reason that I love ILF... and DIYSB by extension...

Drawing on the ideas presented thus far over at diysb, this is where I'm at right now;
The Meg range resistor on B and C of Q3 or Q4 did nothing to tone down the top end sizzle, but with a trimmer, I found at 120K, it was quite pleasing. The setup is similar to what's found in the GGG silicon Tonebender. I added a 0.047uF cap along side the diode, which tamed some really high frequencies, and further enhanced the buzz. The 100R limiting resistor really helped tone down the full on harshness too. Thanks for that one Jon! :icon_biggrin:
I've been doing a side-by-side shootout with my Burnski Buzzaroundski (Russian Ge equipped Buzzaround). and it's really, really close flat out. I had the wife do a blind taste test, and she said it sounded the same to her. The fuzz roar that comes out of this sucker flat out is unreal. Just brutal. The biggest difference is when you dial back the sustain, it simply gets less fuzzy, whereas the Ge version gates more. Also, it's much more "guitar volume user friendly" than the Ge version. Rolling the guitar volume back with the silicon cools down the fuzz to almost clean level. Like a very mild overdrive.
Can someone breadboard this and see if they hear what I hear? Probably nothing new here, but I think it sounds pretty awesome. Probably closer to Tonebender territory, but lots of fun.

Recorded straight into a BR-600, just a touch of reverb added.
