Gray Beard - Two Fuzzes in One!

[Jakes Dad]

I'm calling this Gray Beard because I like that better than Neck Beard (the name Warrior Poet used for the layout on the Guitar PCB site).  Face Bender would be an appropriate name for this cause that is sort of what it is - a switchable Fuzz Face and Tonebender.  Switch up is a real nice meaty Fuzz Face - switch down adds a pre-gain boost for something really, really close to a Tonebender MKII.  Two Guitar PCB GBOF boards with NPN germaniums (AC130s with Hfes of 72, 90, 125).  Knobs, pots, switches, and fiddly bits from Small Bear, generic 1590B from BLMS, and tested trannies from ebay.
