Hello all

First of all, I've searched and I've also read RG's "technology of..." article - I have not understood it 100%, but I'm trying.

I'm trying to figure out how should I adjust the 10k trimpot of the GGG Boutique Fuzz (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/fuzzface_b_sc_pn.gif)
What should I look for there?

I'm also not 100% of the voltages I should look for in the transistor pins, since the readings at the ggg site are for the positive ground, and the ones I found on the forum were all troubleshooting ones (people posting voltages asking if they were right)

thanks a lot!

  Not sure I understand that one.
  It says PNP Neg Gnd. But I see Q1's emitter connected to the Battery +  ???

 :o uh oh

Is this schematic wrong?
Dang! I have just built it... some strong motorboating going on...

  It looks mainly like a Pos Gnd FF schematic to me, except the extra pot, which is just no biggie. Should work with PNP transistors...er as far as I can see it only differs from a PNP Pos Gnd. FF in the 'extra' pot at the top of the schematic.
