spent ages dicking about with different value caps and transistors. finally settled on this. has an internal bias pot for Q2 but i was thinking about sticking it external for splutter sounds

Very nice, do like!

That's awesome, man. Good work!

sounds nice, i like it. want to share the schematics?

Very nice sounding. Did you start off with a silicon Fuzz Face and just start tweaking?

As Bill and Sp3k asked it would be good to hear what you based it on and what decisions were made with the tweakage.

yeah, started as si fuzz face, but needed a 10k (i am guessin at the mo, i'll put up exactly what i did in a bit) resistor before the input cap to stop RF noise, smaller caps than usual, a cap between the collector of each transistor reducing the general noisage, and used a 2n2222a low gain for q2 and a bc108 for q1. i'll pop a schematic up tomorrow. and trim pot inside, 3pdt and led. and some other stuff that i cant remember at the mo.

and i tried a few different trannies before choosing those, they seemed about the closest to the sound i wanted

This means something totally different in baltimore.

Sounds like it's got the right amount of spit and girth to be a real winner. Great work, always love your playing.

i based the layout on this

but with a 10k resistor before C1, a 10k trimmer instead of R3, a 100pf cap between the collectors of q1 and q2, bc108 q1 and 2n2222a as q2 and wired for a 3pdt. and i wired it PTP on a perfboard rather than vero
