Anyone try one just for kicks? I'm wondering how it changes the tone of the effect.

I recently completed a Fuzz Face based around the Multi Face at ROG.
I used 4 qty 6 position rotary switches from Radio Shack to switch between 6 different input caps, 6 different output caps, 6 different stage one transistors and 6 different stage 2 transistors.  Some of the transistors I used were 2n7000, 2n5088, 2n3904, 2n222a, 2n3879, 2n4407, mpsa18, nte103a GE, and j201.

I really like the way it turned out, the thing has a lot of tone variations.
Check out the soundclips at ROG for the Multi Face to get an idea of how different transistors sound in a Fuzz Face.
