Bjorn's Description:

His ears, senses and passion have finally created the first fuzz pedal for One Control. It produces a sound that we have imagined and heard, but never before experienced. We look back into the past and into the future, and created the sound right in the present moment.

OneControl and BJF have created another legendary pedal, The BALTIC BLUE FUZZ.

History Of The Fuzz

There have been various fuzz pedals throughout history. They have created many legends and attracted countless guitar players seeking a vintage fuzz tone.

The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi stands out amongst these, boasting decades of glorious achievements and outstanding reputation. It is one of the rare fuzz pedals in the world that has continued to evolve. Mike Matthews once described the Big Muff circuit as fuzz through robust filters. The One Control BALTIC BLUE FUZZ is a new generation vintage fuzz pedal designed by BJF based on this idea.

The world’s first fuzz pedal is supposedly the Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 from 1962. This fuzz pedal was originally developed in the United States, and was later refined in 1965 and reborn as the FZ-1A.

However, at the same time there was another fuzz pedal that became a legend in the U.K. This was the Tone Bender developed by Gary Hurst. This pedal had a tone that was influenced by the FZ-1 circuit but was known for its original tone. Since launching the first generation (MK1), successive models had been developed including the Mk1.5 in 1966 and Mk2. These models increased the popularity of fuzz pedals tremendously. In 1966, the internationally renowned Fuzz Face was launched.

Fuzz pedals have matured over time from the original FZ-1.

In response to these British fuzz pedals, Bob Mayer in New York developed a fuzz pedal in 1969. He was an engineer at Electro-Harmonix and his fuzz pedal was the first Big Muff Pi, which is now called the Triangle. This model was sold until sometime around 1973, and after that, it was upgraded to a model called Ram’s Head with an improved housing. The Big Muff Pi is basically a fuzz pedal newly developed after the initial development in the U.S. and polished in the U.K. It’s a result of repeated research on fuzz pedals and provides the original fuzz sound that today’s guitarists seek.

The Design

The BALTIC BLUE FUZZ circuit is not a Big Muff clone but shares a similar topology. Some of the tones modern guitarists seek in Big Muff are those similar to the Triangle and Ram’s Head. Despite the difference in actual devices, the Triangle and Ram’s Head have almost identical circuits and their tones are very similar as well.

Reproducing the vintage fuzz tone is something all builders in the world are working on now. If they want to replicate the old time sound, they need to be very specific about the vintage NOS components, housing, pots, and circuit patterns.

One Control BJF series used an overwhelmingly small housing to provide an effect that has a renowned BJF circuit. We think it’s important to create a model that is universal and easily available in any situation. BJF combined multiple amplifying stages and filters when designing the BALTIC BLUE FUZZ. Although the idea behind this design is from Big Muff, he used an Op-Amp in order to ensure stability and match modern components.

Imagine the initial Big Muff tone combined with the sounds associated with the Triangle and Ram’s Head. This combination can be found when playing the BALTIC BLUE FUZZ. The BALTIC BLUE FUZZ is a pedal for creating a vintage muff sound but at the same time emphasizes the crisp sound that comes forward. Thus, while maintaining the same gain range as the vintage Big Muff, adjustments were made to ensure a slightly tighter and lower gain than the original. It was tuned to be used with electric guitars and filtered to create powerful feedback tones. It is free of the ``peakiness`` that is common among vintage fuzz pedals .

BJF added Tone control to the BALTIC BLUE FUZZ that is incomparably easier to use than the vintage original model. It is designed in a way so that guitar tones can be adjusted in the full knob range without being destroyed. It is also highly responsive and knob movements are reflected immediately. With the BALTIC BLUE FUZZ, just turning the Tone knob lets you find the sound you want.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

An action-packed dark romantasy
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! Queen of Roses is an Arthurian-inspired dark romantasy that is the first book in the Blood of Fae series. The story follows Morgan, the princess of Camelot who is rumored to be part fae. Fueled by prejudiced hatred and a mistrust of fae blood, Morgan’s abusive father strips her of her birthright and hands it to her half-brother, Arthur. Instead of becoming queen, Morgan is commanded to join the temple of the goddesses when she comes of age. However, Arthur turns into a psychopathic, power-hungry, fae-hating king as he ages. He develops malevolent plans and commands Morgan to find an ancient weapon with legendary power. Although Morgan is wary of Arthur’s intentions, she embraces the opportunity to go on a journey and potentially change her fate. The story picks up from there and we follow Morgan on her quest to find the ancient relic. It’s full of high stakes adventure, mystery, tension, banter, forced proximity, hidden magic, self discovery, and betrayal. This first installment of the series intricately develops the world building and character development. There’s little romance in this book, but it is evident that it is a slow burn that will continue to develop throughout the remainder of the series. Overall, I loved the world building, the epic fantasy, Morgan’s journey of self discovery, and all of the twists and turns that set the stage for the future installments. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
