  1. Tag it! Sounds great. I have the original next to it and without checking the bias it's already very similar.

  2. Hi!! Thanks for all your work Fuzzhead! Is it only on my build or the Fuzz pot doesn`t do almost anything? Thanks!!

    1. When you say that do you mean literally nothing or just that it has a limited range? The original is limited in its range. It's as if you were to take about 15% of the sweet spot of another fuzz and stretch it out for the whole rotation of the pot.

    2. I used an MP41a and had low volume and gain and the fuzz pot didn`t too anything. Then a 2n1306 has much more volume and gain and the fuzz pot does something. I don`t know why..The two MP41 (hfe80) are supposed to work..

    3. MP41 is PNP, MP38 and 2N1306 are NPN
      You need NPN for this circuit

    4. Oops!My mistake! I ordered MP38 and the guy said it`s the same... Didn`t check..Thanks!!

  3. The Design-a-Drive is even better. Do you have a schematic for that one?
