FUCK YES!

Demo plz!!!

Demo very shortly.
I'm still post move. I got to find my mic, and various cables and cords, but demo, defiantly

Lol, I get to pick mine up this weekend, I'm pretty excited.

Is this near distortion (a la Muff) or it's more of a fuzzy and hairy beast?

Hey 9520575, it's been a while, it's great to have you back on the forum.

Hey Charlie, that was superbly comprehensive. Thanks!

it feels good to be back

But to answer your question its a buzzaround clone. Which, to my ears, is in the tonebender & fuzz face spectrum of fuzz. Raspy, yet full. Really nice on cords. Really big and expressive. It sounds like a couple settings on my fuzz factory, but way way quieter.

Yeah, the Crimson King is tops, LOVE mine! I don't own much to compare it to but 9520575's description is right on imo. I was a little timid as it doesn't have a master volume but the timbre and balance controls are very interactive and can be used to adjust output accordingly, not an issue. Def a HUGE gain range, gets totally raspy and nasty and trebley like an old school 60's-style fuzz or you can thicken it up to a more modern, meaty, aggressive sound, all with tons of clarity. Voiced perfectly.

is it called the crimson king because it sounds like king crimson tones or something?

Yeah, I think robert fripp of king crimson used a buzzaround on an album or two...I don't know the full story though

I love that it can do the spitty, tone bender type sounds and a modern sounding fuzz-face-on-steroids distortion sound

Yeah Robert Fripp used Buzzarounds for leads a lot. FWIW the Robert is also a King Crimson reference cause after I made the first one i thought it sounded kinda like a buzzaround out of random coincidence.

Oh and i have the older Arc Buzzaround clone with no power jack. Thing does sound awesome. I do think it can get into muffish territory, actually, but its not really related to the circuit.

i never used a buzzaround that sucks. it is kind of the big muff for people that hate big muffs.
And if you want an even more badass pedal, ghost dizzy tone!

That's a good description of myself.
I always feel like Big Muff sound like distortion... not my type.

this.

Yeah, its got the zippy "velcro"-ish sound I like with the Fuzz Factory, but a little less treble...
I mean, I suppose its muffish, like all fuzzes are fuzz, but I mean, I kinda don't see the muff...
Its like a 60's fuzz tone surf, shit, for hepcats dig?

yeah, I'mma gonna record some fuzz tones for y'all. in the mean time dig these demo sounds:
