I started reading on this board near the beginning of the summer and I managed to complete this project before I go off to college again!

It's two effects in one: the Shin-ei Companion Fuzz, and the No Joke Fuzz that was posted on this forum. The switch near the top changes the effect.
All the transistors are socketed for easy switching.
On the shin-ei fuzz, I switched the pot connections, as was suggested here, and I also added a 50k "scoop" pot, which was also here I believe.
On the no joke fuzz, I also added sockets for some clipping diodes if I want to add them, which makes this effect pretty flexible, and I lowered the input cap.
Lastly, there is a 47uF power filtering cap and a 1N4002 reverse biased across the power for protected if the battery is connected wrong.
Otherwise, the effects are exactly as described originally.

No way I would have been able to do this without this great site. Thanks to everyone here!

The layout (a .diy file) is available here to anyone interested, as are these images, and a render of the layout.
