I traced this a few months ago but forgot to show it to you folks. It's nothing particularly special, as you can plainly see.
Good job, BBE, you did nothing special.

P.S. Oops. Is this my first post? I guess it is. Oh well, I've lurked for ages.

I didn't like it myself, but it would be a simple platform to mod because it's all through-hole components rather than SMD.

I got one other BBE box today, but felt a bit too ill to tear it open. So instead i noticed this one and thought i'd draw a layout of it. Seems to be discontinued and replaced by another fuzz box in BBE product line.

Like said above, there's nothing too special going on in this circuit - just a modernized Fuzz Face. But. The method of biasing is not the standard way we've seen over and over.. I replaced the parallel 10K+11K wit a 22K trimpot.

Anyway. Here's the stripboard layout. Currently unverified.
