Mockman 2.0 mods anyone?

[punkin]

I breadboarded the mockman 2.0 today....a very convincing Boston sound. I did some searching but didnt find what I was looking for. I'd like to add a switched fuzz option to it. Anyone done this? I'd like to be in boston one moment then the next...step on a switch then get all fuzzy. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Not sure if you have already looked at this but it appears to be a Mockman with LEDs optional for clipping to create a distortion. Maybe the Mockman 2.0 already has those there but I came across that a while back and was reminded by this post.

If I undertand right, what you want should be achieved by increasing the 10 nF capacitors.  This should get you into fuzz territory.  Try adding 22 to 47 nF in parallel with each 10 nF cap and see how it goes.  Be aware that you might need to increase just one cap or both to achieve the desired effect, so this needs some experimentation.  Also, increasing these caps will raise gain insanely and you might need to increase the 10k resistors in series as well.
