It's supposed to emulate the sound of a Fuzz Face into a cranked Fender, and indeed the schematic shows the gain stage is a FF, and the tone stack is a Fender one. A buddy of mine picked up a real one and said it was fine, but neither cleaned up nor went as hairy as a basic FF.
Verified. I haven't been building much and as a result I've been depressed. I guess I'm addicted. Anyway, this circuit sounds nice. It kind of reminds me of a three band Rat. Not a lotta flex in the biasing either. Dial it in so that it doesn't gate when cleaning up. HNY all. Thanks for the layout as always Anders. Hope everyone is well.
Does anyone know on what circuit this was based?

DeleteI wouldn't have guessed that. But yeah, I see it now. I just watched Jamie Stillman use it as a bass fuzz. Sounded cool in that application.
DeleteI think the cut in row Q needs to move to the left of the 100k.
ReplyDeletenoticed that, too. but Gain 3 needs to also connect to the emitter of Q3 so it seems like you could just get rid of that cut altogether.
