Building the Zygote with just Fuzz & Volume & Fat switch...

Hey guys,

before I start building this one, I would like to run this by you.
I would like to build the Zygote with just fuzz, volume and the fat switch. So I´m thinking some jumpering is in order. Does this look good to you:

1. Omit C1 and jumper Strain pad 1 & 2 ( to remove the strain control)
2. jumper Drain pad 1 & 3 (to remove the drain control)
3 Place the resistor (specified by smallbear) for the transistor pair in question from the 9V side of R3 to the junction of R6 and C6, and and the other from junction R6 / C6 to T1 pad 2 OR 3
4. Omit the Tweak pot, B/M switch, R4, R5, R6 and T1
5. socket C4, to see if i like it with or without.

in my mind this should amount to a pretty basic fuzz face, or do you guys see any errors ?

thanks

Nobody ?

hmmm, guess I´ll ave to find out the hard way  ;)

What you said should work, you'd be stripping it down to the basics like your wanting. Not sure you have to omit C1 or what its for, maybe socket it and see if it does anything to the sound. C4 is most likely used to filter out high pitched frequencies that sound squealing.
Your gonna have a stock awesome FF!

Thanks man. That´s exactly what I´m going for, a basic fuzz face. (well with a fat switch added...)

Hardest thing for me was to find out where to fit in the resistors that smallbear provided with the transistors.
