oops, sry for caps. Picked this up today, i am told that it is a '69 fuzz circuit. I asume this means a Fulltone '69 fuzz. i'll post picks eventually, it has a volume, fuzz, bias, and contour knob. Definatly "home made". looks like they etched their own board. Im hoping to find picks of Fulltone '69 boards and their traces to compare. i'm thinking this might take me to the correct schem. and pcb.

check www.generalguitargadgets.com

you'll find the 69 Fuzz there....

when was the first '69 produced?

Hard to tell - the 69 you have, as mentioned, is probably the GGG version , which is not the same as a fullltone 69.

iirc the fulltones were produced from about 95 or so.

maybe i guess, the pcb is not manufactured, and has oo8 on it i believe. the bias and contour pots are soldered directly to the board.

Fulltones are clearly marked as such...even the old silver ones (which weren't 4 knob units, iirc")

if you post a couple pictures...outside and inside of box...i can most likely solve your mystery pretty easily.

heres some pics. i still havnt removed the board, but finally was able to definatly make out AC128 on the transistors. Looks like values where sharpied on them, HFE values maybe? Looks like "108" on the first one and "120" on the second...
well i was going to post pics but dont remember how!

100% NOT a Fulltone.

I'm sure its based on the GGG schematic.

:) i didnt think it was an actual fulltone, i have seen several pcb images on the net of various vintage pedals. I was wondering if this was a copy or straight up original ectching. probably the later!
