FUZZ FACE NOISE SUPPRESSION

[brian wenz]

Hello Hello--
  I found an old post by Joe Gagan where he mentions putting a .005 cap between Q2 collector and ground to get rid of some hiss in the Dino Fuzz.
Joe said that it reduced the hiss at idle by about 10% without affecting the high end.   HHMMMmmmmm.......well, if .005 gets rid of 10% of the racket, why not up the value and get rid of MORE noise??
So, I've been trying different values of caps in Fuzz Face circuits  [went all the way up to .047!] and the higher values REALLY take alot of noise out but also take away high end.  I can easily live with the treble loss when a .02 is in the circuit [and I really appreciated the drop in noise] but this may not be to everyones taste.
Whadda ya think???
Brian.
