Is this the Holy Grail of fuzz? In many peoples’ opinions – absolutely yes. This is the ridiculously rare and almost unfindable Baldwin-Burns Buzzaround, made in small numbers in the UK in the mid to late 60s. It is the sound of Robert Fripp on David Bowie’s “Heroes”. It is one of the earliest truly functional, and great sounding pedals of all time. 

These pedals were manufactured in England by Baldwin-Burns Ltd between 1966-1968 in low production numbers and are now fondly referred to as the “mythical fuzz”. They are hand wired with tag board construction using 3 x Germanium transistors and powered by a standard 9 volt transistor battery. There are very few of the original units still surviving. And we have this one here in our showroom in Sydney – it’s the real deal, it’s all working, and it sounds huge. 

Amazingly, this is the fourth genuine original Buzzaround listed by PREMIER GUITARS. As some followers would know, we sold one via Reverb.com a few years back. It sold within an hour of listing for quite a large sum to a canny buyer in Europe. 

Engineer Gary Hurst reportedly designed this pedal around 1966 and the circuit is extremely close to the 3-knob Tone Bender circuit. The Buzzaround pedal also features three knobs – Sustain, Balance and Timbre. 

From Guitar Player Magazine (1974) – 

“On stage I use three pedals on a pedal board: A volume pedal, fuzz-tone, and wah-wah. I’m not sure what type of wah-wah it is. The best fuzz-box to use is a Burn’s Buz-around which they discontinued making in England about six years ago.” – Robert Fripp, King Crimson 

This box sounds like no other. Many have tried to copy it, but the original versions are something quite special. It barks & spits like an uncaged animal, it roars and cuts through like nothing we’ve ever heard. And there are so few of these original Buzzarounds out there, let alone one that’s actually working properly, and sounding this good. 

Every client of ours who has been invited to test drive this beast is amazed at the tone, the rich harmonics, the fatness, the versatility, and the almost surreal openness of the sound with virtually any good guitar plugged into it. The Baldwin-Burns Buzzaround can create a range of tones from classic vintage fuzz through to chunky overdrive and modern rock distortion. 

We have been researching these for two years since the owner of the first one hinted he may sell it, and we have not seen another genuine original Buzzaround appear for sale in that period. Apart from this one, that is. It is certainly the real thing, and perfect in every way. 

This one has had some work including the replacement of 1 power cap, 2 signal caps and 2 resistors that had aged beyond service. The cable has been replaced with period screened wire. The pots have been replaced at some point but have been serviced and antiqued. It also looks to have had a paint job at some stage of its life. All recent work was performed by industry respected, Greg Cameron. He has got this Burns Buzzaround absolutely purring; in perfect working order!

Here’s a rare chance to secure a truly collectable piece of music history that will further appreciate over time.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.
