Built this a couple of weeks ago, by mistake I omitted the first 18k on
the power rail, doesn't seem to prevent this from working well as a
Fuzz/Distortion  ?
Q1 2N4401
Q2 BC557

Q1 emitter 100 ohms
I didn't have any "high end" problems at all, so output is from the 10k/2n2
to ground direct to 100k vol pot.
Sounds very nice, if anyone knows what change the 18k would have ( more gain? )
let me know.
Thanks Brett, nice simple twisted "Boss tone"
