Simple, fun Boost-Drive-Fuzz circuit

Information
I like simple things.
This is a simple thing.... but versatile. Just a jfet boost into a Bazz/boost section. No brainer really.
It uses a 4 position rotary switch to give a wide variety of tones, from "boost" to "fuzz".
Low parts count, values aren't too critical, certainly there's some room for mods.
The schematic is self explanatory, so I didn't do a layout.
If you'd like to assist the "Boo-Teek" pedal companies out there, you can post a layout so that they'll be able to build and market it as well.*
Enjoy !
PS: The switch will pop a bit when turning. You could add a 1M to ground on either side of the switch if this bothers you.
PSS: BIG nod to Hemmo for the Bazz section.
*with a few notable exceptions (Catalinbread, Subdecay, and a few others actually know what they're doing !)

If you build it, let me know how it works with your rig.jrod wrote:Man, I really like simple, too! This looks like fun!
Like I say, it's a ridiculously simple circuit that pretty much anyone could come up with, but sometimes those can be really good.

i think alot of folks will agree with me on this one:
the simple solution is usually the best.
personally, i prefer quick, simple and [frighteningly] effective solutions to nearly every aspect of life, electronics is definitely included in this statement.
