Dusting this albatross off. Builder on eBay claims to have successfully reverse engineered a factory purchased "Thee Fuzz War" with the added treble boost section, which seemed appealing to me. He even includes a hi-res gutshot, in case anyone here has the wherewithal to trace it.

Looks like a big muff with added treble booster.
Also i'm surprised by silicon diodes. I thought Thee had germanium in it.

BTW, the guy's name is Audio Event FX, you can find his pedals on PGS website (http://proguitarshop.com/audio-event-phone-twister.html http://proguitarshop.com/audio-event-octashifter.html).
