FUZZ -THORPY FX EAO ___NEW ___ a Burns Buzzaround clone

$530.00 USD

Thorpy FX..EAO  FUZZ

This time we get what appears to be a once a year Ltd. Ed. Fuzz. 

This year it comes in pink. It is based on the Burns Buzzaround 

made famous by Robert Fripp on King Crimson's first Album. 

Fripp soon replaced it with a Big Muff Triangle as the Burns 

is unreliable and it cuts the level going to the amp. 

     CONCLUSION ___

This time we get like we always get. A very nice Fuzz 

at an obscene price. Worth at the very most half the 

money. Just buy the bog standard Electro Harmonix 

Triangle Muff at $115.00 USD. 

...they literally sound as good but are tighter with a balzy attack.

FUZZ- DROLO Giant Hogweed V.4 ...12 years on and still impressive

$200.00 USD

 drolo   

GIANT HOGWEED|  

 

WTFuzz after 12 years it is still fuzzing loved by a new buyer.

From Begium we get a David Drolo pedal.

The layout Volume, Tone and Gain, a Mids boost and Up and 

Down controls for the octaves.  

 

CONCLUSION __

A great gritty sound with a lot of breadth with good control 

to tame over pushing it so it doesn't turn Shoegaze if you 

need to hold down an accompaniment on a tune. 

 

FUZZ- WARM AUDIO The Black Keys Peach Fuzz ___NEW___ signature Fuzz?

$200.00 USD

 WARM AUDIO

THE BLACK KEYS 

 P e a c h   F u z z 

In spite of the marketing verbal flatulence this is not a one 

size fits all pedal. It is a 70's Foxy Fuzz of which Warm Audio 

already cloned. This is simply v.2 in a new board friendly 

enclosure. The Layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. A toggle 

lets you use a footswitch for hold.

Conclusion __

Nice enough but the $30.00 USD Behringer SF300 

Super Fuzz is near virtually the same thing minus 

the low octave & footswich. The sound is a bit nastier 

but otherwise the same. I have had mine 

for years with no problems.

 MY MONTHLY RANT

When will someone finally be given the Duty to kill the Duties, WTF !!!

TIME OUT

___Well the duty thing is not sorted and no one on either side without 

lawyers has a formal agreement where one can simply ship by a 

specific duty category like for example small electric units that my 

LENARD Re-Inventions pedals would fall under. I was told off the 

record by both governments to wait until after the election.

___October had a lot of cool new product. Go to the Post 

GUITAR SUMMIT 2026 and you will have 39 videos of gear to 

drool over,LOL 

___TONE CITY has brought out 7 new pedals and now have a small 

line of hand made pedals with serious gourmet brand parts etc. 

The Green Screamer Legend series is an Ibanez TS-10 voiced to nail 

SRV's sound. $135.00 USD .It is top of my gotta-haves.

UPDATED 10/1/2026

TREBLE BOOSTER- VOX Treble Booster ___NEW ___Rangemaster Treble Booster clone

 VOX 

$150.00 USD

 TREBLE BOOSTER ·  

Before the Tube Screamer if you wanted to boost a dark amp 

like a JTM45 or dark PLEXI you went for a Rangemaster Treble 

Booster and it was your always on pedal, Brian May, Page 

and Tony Iommi all had one. The layout is boost and on this 

modern take you get a toggle to beef up the lows. 

     CONCLUSION __

The price is fair and it does its thing. That said the 

Suhr Brighton is the same price and noticeably better.

With it you can add some serious low end balz. 

····

As for me I am leaning towards passing on a Rangemaster 

for the $135.00 USD Tone City Green Tube a TS10 Tube  

Screamer voiced to get a SRV sound.
