...Pro Traffic Fuzz Unit, B.G Fuzz, CMI Fuzz Unit, B&M Champion Fuzz... And that last one - actually reissue made by Faustone is where I started.

I really liked that version, but decided to make my own layout

As you see there is few components off-board. I could do it on bigger board and have them all on tags, but standard tag board takes maximum 18 columns - so this is the reason. Look what Pigdog is doing, complete effect units with flying components. With just a little creativity and time you can archive great results routing these couple of caps and resistors.

My advice is to use small diameter radial caps here. MKT1813 250v 100n's should be small enough, all horizontally orientated components could be hide on the revers side of the board for layout clarity and simplicity, the same apply to the jumper wires.

Control pots are switched over (compared to the original) to keep as short flying component connection as possible

No component values listed, just the name + schematic. Use your own set to make any variation from those listed above, or to roll your own

Ground points are close enough to do ins and outs with shielded wire, if you want me to do layout like that - let me know

Looks cool Pawel, gonna breadboard this one up and give her a rip. Looks like Q3 may have had his name legally changed to Q4.

Do you have any sound files?

Fausto has recently posted schematic and transistors gains on his site.
