Tried out the MFZ-1 on breadboard today - it was ok. Swapped some parts to try out the Hidrosis (posted at DIYSB about five years ago by brett) and I preferred it. Gain pot ("sweat") does something quite interesting, with a quite woolly sixties sounding fuzz at minimum, becoming brighter with higher gain but also more body+definition, almost like some cleaner guitar is getting mixed in, weird as that sounds. Knocked out a quick vero, unverified, but looks ok (please cast a cautious eye over it before you build):

Hi Nocentelli,

your layout looks fine. Just one thing: IC pin8 goes to ground in your layout! The jumper has to go up one row.
