Buzzaround
The Abraxas Sound Buzzaround is a delightfully unhinged fuzz pedal that takes your guitar tone on a wild ride through the outer limits of distortion. This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill fuzz - it's a shapeshifting beast that can morph from a smooth, creamy sustain to a sputtering, gated madness at the twist of a knob. At its heart, the Buzzaround employs a unique transistor circuit that pushes your signal into glorious, unpredictable territory. Crank the Fuzz control and prepare to be engulfed in a swirling vortex of harmonics and overtones, perfect for searing lead lines or thunderous rhythms. But don't stop there - the Bias control allows you to fine-tune the pedal's character, from a tight, focused attack to a wobbly, almost synth-like texture. What really sets the Buzzaround apart, though, is its Contour switch. Flip it one way and you'll unlock a smooth, singing sustain that's ideal for expressive soloing. Flip it the other, and you'll unleash a gated, spitty fuzz that's tailor-made for cutting through a dense mix. It's like having two pedals in one, each with its own distinct personality. Rumor has it that the legendary Jimi Hendrix himself was a fan of the Buzzaround, using it to conjure up his signature psychedelic mayhem. While we can't confirm that, we can say with certainty that this pedal is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to explore the outer reaches of fuzz-fueled creativity.
