Another modification of fuzzface

Hi to all.
Fuzzface has undergone so many modifications, so only mine is missing

I set out to redo the fuzzface in a way that would be easy to repeat and not sound as sharp as the silicon transistors. Therefore, I decided to add zener diodes between the base and the collector and it softened the sound. Also, the capacitor at the input is also of reduced capacity so that there is no excess of low frequencies.
Here is the modification scheme:

And here is the video:

Criticism and wishes are welcome. Also welcome samples from those who can play the guitar normally, not like me

Hello everyone. This is me again with my crazy (or maybe rational) ideas.
It occurred to me that no one has used a cascode to create a fuzz. After all, cascode switching provides great amplification and the ability to control the resistance of the collector load. That's why I implemented it. You can hear what happened on the video.
While this scheme is not final and I will definitely replace the method of turning on the Structure potentiometer, but for familiarization with the capabilities of this fuze, this scheme is quite suitable.
