The Hive Mind is a modified version of the storied vintage Burns Buzzaround<\/a> fuzz pedal. While we stayed close to the original circuit in terms of parts and values, we made two critical changes: 1) we added a master Volume pot at the output of the circuit, and 2) we kept the PNP positive ground germanium transistors (part number 2N404) but added a sub-circuit that makes your standard negative ground power supply work just fine. So you can use this vintage-styled pedal with any standard\/modern pedal power supply (+9V).<\/p>\n

The enclosure artwork is laser etched for long-lasting good looks. Note: color may vary from the picture below,<\/strong><\/em> as availability and pricing of various colors has dramatically changed over the last year.<\/p>\n
