well....it looks cool. can't say much about the sound as the clips on the tone czar site do nothing to represent what the pedal is capable of. from the manual it seems to be a versatile pedal but in the 7+ months since i first visited that site there still isn't anything more than a cheesy "tv ...

NPN SI: in this setup as well as in my other configs, I used a 100K pot for the bias so I could always dial in the 'correct gain'. I tried 2N2222, 2N4401, MPSA13, 2N3904 and 2N5088/9. Finally settled for Q1 = 2N2222; Q2 = 2n4401; Q3 = 2N5088. Very low gain silicons didn't work - say hfe < 100 are y...

if you want the fuzz at maximum you dont use a resistor, you use a jumper. using a resistor sets it at minimum! thanks for the info, i actually followed your layout for the two knob version. so following that r4 (value: 2.2k) should be a jumper? i'll try this later on. maybe even with a pot just to...

hello all, first post here. i built the two knob (vol/tone) version of this the other day with a resistor to set the fuzz at maximum. it's quite a beast and single note/lead lines sound awesome. i'm not as psyched about playing chords, as it seems to out-muff any and all big muffs. not enough defini...
