I have built herds of positive ground Arbiters, etc... I want to build a nice classic (60's type) fuzz face and need it to be negative ground so that i can put it and a sparkle boost in one enclosure. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Si fuzz face. To vintage-ize it, add a 22-68pF cap across the collector and base of Q2.

That's worked for me before :)

Hi
Roger Mayer's "Axis" Fuzz is very good.  Also the Axis Face.

I've built two negative-ground Fuzz Faces using Soviet-era GT404B transistors.  You can get them from eBay in bulk.  That's an NPN germanium component.  I like the sound they give.
