  1. I'm sure by now it's known that this is verified, I just wanted to share my build and link it here. Sometimes seeing one completed can help someone decide to give it a shot. Thanks for the layout, man.

    1. Yeah, it's verified for sure, both me and Alex have built it and it is one of my favorite muff variants along with Musket Fuzz and a few others.

      As with Revv 4 you made this is a very neat and tidy build with a killer enclosure. Top job!

  2. Good morning! there's 17 cuts here xDD This is one of my favourite Muffs too - the tonestack values here work pure magic with my rig.

    Also, would you be interested in a verified layout I created? It's basically a stripped down DS1 type circuit without tone control and buffers, with some mods, from medium distortion to fuzz, retaining clarity etc etc. Nothing original I know, but I've tried a lot of distortion/overdrive circuits by now, but this one captures the toanz in my head. And its my first vero layout xDD do you have an email address I could send it if you're interested?

    1. lol, usually its me counting wrong...

      Here is my email address if you want to send me a schematic:
      anders.sjodal at gmail.com

      Yep, it is one of my favorites too! Easily in the top 5 of the modern and modified bouteek muff clones out there. EQD nailed this one.

  3. Build it - boxed it - love it.
    especially like the „Shift Control“ !

    … sorry for the stupid question … but what does the „+“ mean ?
    Thanks.

    also thanks to fuzzhead, for making all this possible. Thank you man !

    1. Thanks!:-D
      "+" indicates the anodes of the clipping LEDs.

  6. In a scenario like this where shift 1 and 2 are connected to the same row, is it alright to just connect lugs 1 and 2 of the pot together and then send one connection to the board? I'm assuming this is implied in the layout, but I've seen other layouts where pot lug connections are explicitly mentioned.

  7. Yeah, that's what it means. Connect one and two lugs and use that one wire to connect to shift 1/2 on the board.

  8. Nice one that I want to build too. Can anybody tell me how to choose best 2n5089 values to achieve it please ? I know it's all about leakage values but I'm not sure .
    I built a voodoo lab super fuzz recently and it sounds like crap.
    Thank you all for help

    1. No leakage on silicon transistors, just the hfe that matters. Socket your transistors and try different ones until you find what works (better if you can measure the hfe). 2N2089s are usually around the 650 mark and MPSA18s around 800
