I didn't want to take the chance on buying the hartman Tommy Bolin pedal at 160.00 so saw an o.k. deal on the
Mojo hand Zepher Fuzz and decided I'd buy it to report back ............ [ I wasn't expecting it to be " much " different but ........]

2n2222's looks like the sam ash / astro fuzz , When I plugged it in , didn't seem to sound or feel particularly good so
I got out my astro fuzz built from the schematic here on fsb with the bigger coupling caps and it sounds about the same
not much better or worse , same tone control that cuts bass as when you get half way up , It's does have more overall volume on tap ,
so I guess it's the sam ash with bigger coupling caps and a bit more gain , here a gut shot, probably no reason to go any farther with but I'll take more
if anyone thinks it's helpful
