SOLD

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.

Healthy, natural treat my dogs actually love—no mess!
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These pig ears are the perfect natural alternative to rawhide. All three of my dogs go crazy for them, and I feel good giving them a single-ingredient treat. What I used them for: Occasional chew treats for my three dogs. Pros: Single-ingredient, natural treat Dogs love the taste and texture Doesn’t stain or leave a mess despite slobber Good size for medium to large dogs Cons: Can be a bit odorous out of the bag (minor) Real experience: I’ve given these to all three dogs multiple times, and each one enjoys them equally. Unlike some rawhide or flavored chews, these don’t leave stains or get mushy—cleanup is easy, which I really appreciate. Comparison: Much healthier and cleaner than rawhide chews or flavored alternatives, but still keeps dogs occupied for a similar amount of time. Final verdict: If you want a natural, low-mess chew for dogs who love to gnaw, these pig ears are a solid choice.

Nice Enough for the price!
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
Good price, not all are big though. But, they look like nice pigs ears and we got 13 instead of 12 (Oliver is eating one as I type so it’s not include in my pic, lol). I will order another bag fr his Christmas gift to share with his dog buddies.

Yummy pigs ear
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These are my dogs "special" treat. These range in size from large to small ears but my dog loves them all the same. Great for heavy chewers.

One-and-done treat for giant breeds (our 186lb foster approves)
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
We foster a 186lb Saint Bernard, and finding treats that actually satisfy her without requiring half the bag has been a challenge. These pig ears? Game changer. What makes these work: - ONE ear = one satisfied dog (compared to other treats where the bag says “35 per day” and she’d still beg for more) - Keeps her busy for about 5 minutes of focused chewing - She does a little excited dance when she sees the bag—can’t even sit, just wiggles - Zero crumbs or mess because she devours every single bit, then spends the next hour sniffing around hoping another one appears - She immediately grabs it and heads to her favorite bed to settle in—doesn’t move until it’s gone The only “issue”: There’s a bit of oil/greasiness when handling them, but nothing a quick hand wash can’t fix (Mrs. Meyer’s Cucumber soap works great, just saying). Bottom line: If you have a giant breed and you’re tired of buying treats that require multiple servings or disappear in one bite, these are it. One ear, complete satisfaction, Subscribe & Save so they just show up like a present you forgot you ordered. Our girl Ellie gives them 186 pounds of approval.

Size of Ears is Inconsistent
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
A bit disappointing with the size, 1 large pig ear, the rest small and not actual whole pig ears. But Doggo enjoys them. No problems with digestion for him.
