Switching transformer schematic for the Octavia

[trjones1]

I've searched the forum and found a description of how to switch the transformer out of the Tycobrahe Octavia circuit to choose between octave+fuzz and just fuzz.  I was wondering if anyone has drawn out a schematic or layout for this mod.  I just don't seem to be able to wrap my mind fully around the verbal description.  Has anyone tried this mod?  Is it worthwhile?  Thanks.

Check this out:

There's a section below the two main circuit schematics that shows how to switch out one of the two Germanuim diodes that are attached to the output side of the transformer.  This will remove the octave and leave you with a truck load of fuzz!

Awesome, that's perfect.  I can't wait to get started on this pedal, just sitting around waiting for the parts from small bear to come in.
