Thanks, sounds good! I further step could be to hook in the blend circuity of the Lovepedal Silicon Fuzzmaster. http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.de/2012/06/lovepedal-silicon-fuzzmaster.html Thanks for reply, it's fairly clear that bassy/clarity of this pedal strongly depends on its input impedance a...

i tried quickly a simple input buffer and...wow..now this is a great sounding pedal! the buffer has a huge effect on this circuit for my ears, as a treble booster in front of it, great high gain distortion with great clarity and sustain. There is however a feedback whistle with all pedal pot at max....

i did some research so..the first stage of the pedal is exactly a "pnp negative ground fuzz face..Orman style" with minimal changes to gain pot to make it more accurate. As a fuzz face it must have hfeQ1<hfeQ2. As a fuzz face it has a low input impedance and for this reason there is an int...

i built the pedal and i had same oscillations issue with gain maxed and/or guitar volume closed. To avoid this i put a 100 Ohm resistor in series at pin 3 of gain pot. So it never goes to zero. i also used hfeQ1<hfeQ2. With this mod I no longer have any noise. However,now, with guitar volume closed ...

thanks for sharing, i have a doubt on 330 ohm resistor , with it the whole circuit runs at 6,7volt.. too low for me. Can you measure the voltage at pin 8 of the 5532 ic? about the voltage divider i see in posted photo the color codes grey-red-black-red-brown and brown-red-black-orange-brown that mea...
