Mosquito

A New Effects pedal From Burford Electronics

The Mosquito Octave Up Fuzz

A unique Octave up fuzz, which will give you pure fuzz on one twist of a knob & octave fuzz on one twist of another knob. So you can have your fuzz setting for rich body & add octave fuzz to it or turn the fuzz down & just use the octave fuzz control for cutting lead. There is also a control called Sting, this is a tone filter that alters the voice of the octave from sharp to mellow.

The octave is not over the top, on the lower register it is quite subtle, you can even play power chords and it holds together extremely well. Without that horrible modulation that is associated with some analogue octave up pedals even some of the legendary expensive ones.

Try soloing somewhere from the 8th fret upwards, it is very responsive and particularly so around 12th/15th fret and even higher. Neck and back pick ups give different sounds. Even playing positions will give different responses.

Mosquito features…

• True bypass.
• Buzz level - [standard fuzz level control].
• Octave level - [octave fuzz level control].
• Sting – [octave tone control]
• Power input socket, 9 volt negative center [standard] power supply not supplied

Britt Boost

This is the culmination of all the booster pedals from the 1960's and is fitted with new old stock premium selected Mullard germanium P.N.P. transistors. Its features are:
True bypass

• Level control
• Battery or 9 volt [negative centre] power input socket [compatible with most modern power supplies]

• 1 - Treble boost
• 2 & 3 - pre-selected boost positions with increased mid. [All three give slightly different boost voicing].

The Britt Face
by Burford Electronics

After playing the majority of fuzz boxes from the late 60's up to modern day turn outs, I've never been completely satisfied with the fuzz sounds, particularly for live work, so, I decided to design my own using a hybrid circuit, with a negative earth. [Now there's a novelty, but one that should have been done years ago, now, making it compatible with modern day negative centre power supplies.] The hybrid design uses Germanium for the soft clipping and Silicon for the higher gain & stability, giving The Britt Face a fuzz tone with a fuller bass response to mid range, without any of those nasty 'fizzy fuzzy' sounds. It has good stability, so it will run for hours and you will always have the same sound with out any bias adjustment, irrespective of temperature changes [within reason, we would therefore suggest you do NOT put it in the deep freeze or the oven!]

The Britt Face features:

• Fuzz control - this you can turn back from full fuzz to over drive settings with clarity, unlike it's predecessors which would lack treble, usually sounding quite thick.
• Voice - This control gives a lush bass response, which the fuzz faces and tone benders tended to lack. Turn clockwise for 'crunch'
• Level - this is the ratio between bypass and effect [volume control]
• It has true bypass
• 9 volt [negative centre] power input socket [compatible with most modern power supplies]

The Burford Sonic Ranger -Treble Booster

Hand-built in the heart of England by Alan Exley for Burford Electronics.

A germanium transistor treble boost - This is a clone of the 1960's Rangemaster, one of the most influential pedals ever produced. This is renowned to be the sweetest treble boost ever made and was used for two reasons - one, to give extra cutting edge for rhythm playing and second, to drive the front end of tube amplifiers. The people who used these type of boosters, such as, Hornby Skewes, Orange, The Dallas Rangemaster, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher, Dave Gilmore, and many other English guitarists to push their tube amplifiers into creamy distortion with overtones. The result of the rangemaster into a good tube amplifier is evident on the Bluesbreakers 'beano' recording [into a JTM45]and the first 2 Black Sabbath albums [into a Laney stack]

Its features are:

• The use of Germanium transistor circuitry
• True bypass - will not affect your guitars natural voicing when off
• Set or level control- to give the correct amount of level between bypass & boost
• Very low battery drain
• On the e.q. Boost selector switch [mounted at top of pedal], to the left is the classic Rangemaster sound. To the right is mid and bass boost, this modification was done to the Rangemaster to act as a boost to overdrive tube amps. Tony Iommi in the early Black Sabbath used a modified Rangemaster.

Please note there may be some slight noise on the set or level control, when adjusting between 6 and 10, this is not a fault with the pot or circuit, this is the way the output level is controlled where DC voltage meets AC voltage, this noise is only present when the control is turned and is not present when the control is stationary. Cheers, Alan

Rangemaestro treble booster

Effects pedal, Clone of the Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster

Controls on front are, Input, set [level] & bypass/boost
On the back, there is output socket & Rangemaster mid
modification,
This was a standard modification,
That was used to give more middle,
Tony Iommi used this mod.
This is the original Rangemaster circuit using
Mullard Germanium Transistor,
The signal to noise ratio is excellent, the transistor is selected, grade A quality, hence the very low noise.
Uses a 9 volt battery with extremely low drain
& is only switched on when the input jack is inserted.
This is an excellent treble booster with the option of
increasing the mid slightly,
The Rangemaster was the one which Rory Gallagher, Tony Iommi, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Dave Gilmore & Jeff Beck just to name a few people, used for it’s legendary sound.

Robot Ring Modulator

Boutique effects pedal from Burford Electronics
Hand built in the heart of England.

Feed your guitar through this device and you will get the guitar sounds mixed with the sum and the difference between the guitar and the oscillator frequencies, producing 'metallic' overtones to your guitar and various strange techno sounds, depending on where the oscillator pitch is set.

What was it used on? If you listen to the guitar solo on the track Paranoid, by Black Sabbath, you will hear pure distortion guitar on one side and ring modulation on the other. In the stereo image this sounds quite weird. I'm quite sure it's been used on many things. Another classic example is on the Doctor Who theme.
This device is great for playing riffs, creating loops, and other weird phrases. The features of this pedal are:

It has two controls, modulation and oscillator. The modulation control adjusts the mix of the dry signal to be effected. The oscillator controls the pitch of the oscillator tone.
It has two switches: one is accent, the other one is range. The accent adds another feature to the oscillation, which gives a slightly different character to the sound. The range switch has three ranges. 1 is the upper band (easier to tune to high frequencies). 2 is upper and lower band. 3 is the sub band. This gives low-fi, tremolo type sounds, (which can be quite "nasty"). Also there tends to be a "click", almost like interference from the oscillator - with the accent on you can get some bizarre type sounds by playing with or against the beats that are going on: all you need is root and octave. It also sounds very different if you play against the bridge.
It has two jack sockets: one in and one out and it has true bypass.

Setting suggestions to get you going.....
With modulation fully anti-clockwise, range on 1, oscillator fully clockwise, tune into higher pitch range and play riffs, chords or lead and adjust modulation to suit. Switch on the accent setting and then generally mess around.....
Try tuning the oscillator to the key you are playing a riff in, adjust modulation accordingly then try going down an octave on the oscillator and see what happens......
Go to 3 on the range switch, about half-way on the oscillator, turn modulation up full, hit an open A and get familiar with the beat then put the accent on and play either with or against the beat with root and octave....
Have FUN!!

Techno lo – fi

New effects pedal from Burford Electronics

This is an interactive fuzz, great for techno wild and wacky sounds.
Its features:

• True bypass
• Battery or mains [negative centre] power input

Controls left to right are - voice, regurge & level

Voice is a powerful active filter, which gives you, from normal ‘crunch tone’ through mid range ‘honk’ sounds to wah voicing and through ‘thick creamy’ fuzz tones.

Regurge is a powerful voltage controlled filter that gives you straight signal through to synthetic sounds to weird envelope gurgling and is interactive with the voice control.

Last one speaks for itself really, less or more between bypass and effect.

Burford Solo Master Pedal

This is a new pedal designed by Alan Exley, exclusively for Burford Electronics & hand built in England

No more stopping and fumbling around to set your solo levels on your guitar volume controls or using old graphics and E.Q. pedals to boost your volume! This completely transparent FX pedal will give you the true voice of your guitar and amplifier.

The Solo Master is a solo/rhythm foot pedal. It is completely passive, noiseless, and uses true bypass which does not alter your guitar's natural voicing. It has a red LED which lights up when in the bypass position.
So how does it work?

Switch it to bypass position and adjust your amp setting for your solo sound, (you may require slight boost in middle and treble for the cutting edge). Once you have achieved your sound, switch the pedal on (that is with the LED off) and adjust the mid-range control on the pedal until you feel you have your rhythm sound. You can also adjust the filter to back off some of the treble edge.
Once this is achieved, switch to bypass mode and compare your solo level (LED ON) to your rhythm level (LED OFF). If you still need to reduce your rhythm level use the volume control of the pedal accordingly.

This pedal is completely passive and uses a 9 volt battery ONLY to power the LED light.
