fuzz face help me debug....

[rx5]

Just wondering maybe you guys could help me out...

Im refering to the unmodified fuzzface...

ok here it is:
===============

>330ohms/470ohms , changing its value (eg. 1K) would result to a higher signal level output

>8.2K , sometimes changed with 10K trimmer to bias the 2nd transisitor collector to 4.5VDC

>1K pot, changed it to 5K for more FUZZ...

>22uF, still the same value

>2.2uF, changed to lower value for less bass response...

>.1uF, same as above....

>adding a resistor in series (1-50K) with 2.2uF to increase input impedance...

my question is:
================
>what happens if I decrease or increase the value of the 33K ?? what would it lead to??
 
> what about the 100K?? how does it affect the circuit if increased/decreased   ?? Ive seen other circuits with value of 47K..other 56K...


BTW, im using CS9011 and CS9018..they have Hfe of 80-110....

that way you can find all the differences/sweet spots.

ah ic... All components are tweakable.... maybe Ill just replace all resistors with trimmmers...hehehe :wink:

And GEO tech of the FF, if you havent already
 One of those runoff articles someone did pretty much just that I think,,a FF with only like one or two fixed R's on the board...fun to mess around with...somewhere Tim Escobedo [I think] has a Multi Face page with all different mutant FF's all over it.
  Some of those resistors need to stay near what they are, most of the Big differences you can find should be represented in one of the aforementioned articles
