  I did a 'Korn' tribute job on this one, 'twisted transistor' is correct !
  A recent FZ-1 is now very close to the Foxey Lady bias, 'proportion wise', bias strings of 100k/1meg to hold the base voltage, this puts the collectors around 3.5v, the Q2 bias is a 'mistake' I could easily remedy, but has 5.2v on it's collector.
  I forgot and left the 100k across the C-bias resistors.
  The overall topology of the two circuits is similar, and interesting to mess with, altering bias and transistor Hfe...all that a notch filter and fairly interesting 'mix' knob.
  A neat alternative to my basic hammer it hard type Fuzz and Distortion pedals, expressive in a different way, it's like there's a mill of mush working in there the whole time, I've heard this on some records, the single note expressiveness seems especially to be where it's at on this one...they've done the 'envelope thing'...some kinda squashy frequency response effects associated with how recently and hard an attack was picked or is the note tapering into sustain.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
