So I put together a BC108 fuzzface and its doing something really odd...but before I debug it (and possibly fix it on my own without help)...I wanted to see if there is any use for whats going on here....like a really messed up volume wah??? Whats going on is when the volume is raised the sound cleans up as opposed to gets fuzzier. So on the nearly off volume setting its at max fuzz before cutting out completely. For some reason I can't think this is a totally useless thing...it just wasn't the goal here obviously.

when you turn the volume down and it gets more fuzzy, is the actual decibel level falling as well, or is the volume knob making it fuzz more or less without changing the actual level of sound?

Usually when this kind of stuff happens to me, it's due to a backwards wiring.
If I can solve the problem for someone else, I've learned valuable skill and information that pays me back for helping someone else.

i rewired 1 and 3 on the pot and then back again....the Volume goes down as the fuzz goes up so its loud clean quiet dirty...all with the turn of one knob.
