Anyone know what circuit this is? (fuzz)

[muehring]

I got this pedal in a lot I bought, but I'm not sure what it is. 
Thanks!

Can you provide a shot of the back side of the board?

[muehring]

Do you think a shot of the back of the board will help that much?  I just put knobs on and closed up the box so I'll see if anyone else knows what it is first.  I thought it would be pretty easy for someone to recognize especially since the transistor, pot and cap values are noted.

[John Lyons]

Mahoney "Acid Fuzz" I think.

[Kipper4]

Next time do it blindfolded John.
I bet you'd still be in with a shot

[muehring]

Thanks!  Looks like that's what it is.  I never heard of the Acid Tone before.  It's strange that this is considered a fuzzrite clone comparing it to the fuzzrite layouts that are around.  I think it sounds smoother than the fuzzrite I build, but I'll have to compare them.

[John Lyons]

It's not a fuzz rite clone at all.

What else was in the lot and how much did you pay for it all? and where was it? I'm nosey.

Is there a Mahoney Acid Fuzz?   

unless I have it mixed up, the Mahoney "Acid Tone" is a Fuzz Rite circuit


and this one is a labeled as "Vintage Fuzz Tone"...and the pcb's for sale on eBay


It's supposedly an FZ-1 with a twist...I guess the twist is silicon

[muehring]

That Vintage Fuzz Tone is the same board.  Being an FZ-1 makes more sense.  Thanks for the help!

What else was in the lot and how much did you pay for it all? and where was it? I'm nosey. 

The lot was local in Philadelphia from a guy that quit the hobby.  There was a ton of stuff in it, parts, tools a couple partially working pedals like this one.  I made out pretty well it's been keeping me busy for a while.

oddly, it looks like the build instructions are in the eBay listing

if you can't get it working, post a schematic with the values on your board (alter the original below schematic if it's indeed close)

...and post transistor voltages of yours

[John Lyons]

Yeah, Acid Tone... and yeah Not the same one, I was mistaken. I forget what He called it...
