Typical nice build quality from Barber. Sounds very nice.
Here's the Barber marketing copy:
"The Trifecta’s classic three fuzz circuits are based off of the triangle style pi sound, the Jumbo Bender style and the Suppa Bender style with our boutique mods/magic and superior build quality."
I had never looked at the Jumbo or Suppa schematics before, but after checking them out, it makes sense. The Muff, and those two "Bender" circuits have an awful lot in common.
Suppa Bender:
Jumbo Bender:
So yeah, it's a modded Big Muff, essentially. I'm not going to bother tracing it. Sounds good, though. Most Muffs do.
Gut shots attached. Transistors are 2N5088.

I see some asymmetrical clipping..
I guess that's switchable ?
Is it on the second clipping stage ?

Yes. It would appear that the clipping symmetry is what the the switch is all about. It's a three-way, so it must be on-off-on.Greg_G wrote:I see some asymmetrical clipping..

You want me to box it up and send it over?

He does great stuff, you have to love that build quality.
Something important to keep in mind, regarding one of the schematics.
