Does anyone have a vero layout of the Uni-vox Superfuzz?

I so want to build one and check it out!!!

Hello Hello--
      I used the schematic as my layout and it worked fine.   It takes awhile to build but was worth it!

I did the same thing, from schematic to strip-board and it wasn't the easiest of
layouts or the "neatest" !! .... works though
I dont have it drawn up, sorry !

I drew up a layout on vero but it ended up being a HUGE board.
I ended up perfing it as per the schematic but in a sort of C shape running around a central ground with the power running around the outside.

Me too on the perf by schem thing. Just take your time, you can do it, the hard work will be worth it in the end.

Completely discrete distortion circuits are the absolute easiest type to perf among circuits discussed here.  You make one edge of the board V+, the other one ground, and just lay out the parts from left to right just like the picture.  The only aspect that *might* make them tricky is use of transistors that don't have a "traditional" E-B-C pinout.

BTW, Vanessa, I can recommend inclusion of a Ge/Si/none diode switch.  This uses a SPDT centre-off 3-position toggle that disables the diodes in the middle position.  There is a surprising amount of distortion even without the diodes though adding them obviously increases the clipping.

I think I'm going to make a small PCB layout. My friend has an original one version (grey) from what looks like the late 60's or early 70's. I love it. One thing I noticed about his is compared to the layout of the one from this site http://members.fortunecity.com/uzzfay/superfuzz1/sfbrdptmk.html there are two electro caps on his that the polarities are reversed. But his PCB board is identical to this one. All is stock.

vanessa, the ploarity of those  caps were accurate to that unit. Maybe it was assembled at the end of the day or something. 3 other Superfuzzes I have owned have 2 caps reversed from that layout. First is the cap between the emitter and the 470 ohm resistor. The other is the cap between the 2 collectors and the diodes. I think 3 beats 1.
