the tone knob is taken from the easy face and works great. the grit is just 100k to 350k on Q1 CB. thats a 100k with a 250k pot.



part of a complete set

thats a modded LPB on the left. you can switch them both together with one footswitch but you must put the fuzz in the loop of the boost. I kinda f*d up and my diode clipping is dependent on the volume of the fuzz factory. you could just run a volume knob in a box after the fuzz factory and it would switch together with all the clipping and no volume problems. next time I'll just make a 8 knob version with less switches.

pnp fuzz face with contour (like fulltone 69), and bias on the front. the bias is just Q2 bias. I have the correct bias closer to the full ccw so as you turn it cw you get starved Q2. its a 5k1 resistor in series with a 5k pot. my volume pot is 100ka with 100k resistor on the outer lugs. its weird how different fuzz faces work better on different vol knobs. transistors are japanese germanium TCG102 or TCG1024 or something. I really like it but I would have used a 4k resistor in series with a 8k pot if I knew I could have starved it more. and also the bias is slightly out of range with the contour turned all the way up. I think I should have used all 3 lugs for the contour instead of just 2.
