Nothing fancy here, it's just another variation of a fuzz face. The cool thing is that I saw that the octavia pedal was actually using some kind of fuzz face design as an input stage. So I made something hybrid to put both the fuzz face and the octavia in one small box. It sounds cool, even though the octavia mode is not as good as the original, I like the sound out of it!
The presentation on my website
(It'll be available in kit as soon as I get the batches of boards...)

Quick example of how it sounds:


It looks like that:

And this is the latest schematic :

Explanations are here:
In French: http://www.zorgeffects.com/images/Manue ... ata_fr.pdf
In English: http://www.zorgeffects.com/images/Manue ... ta_eng.pdf

Speaking of which, I am too bad and lazy to get the formula to calculate the frequency cut off from the decoupling cap at the input of the Face module. (And I a shit when it comes to transistors...). Would someone here knows it?

A document with how to mount it from my PCB, and thus gut shots, will be available in a few weeks... (got to focus on explanation docs for now!)

Any question, critic, bash, or correction is more than welcome! I'll be following this post if you have any request!
