has anyone built this version? (superfuzz)

yes, according to the schematic there, that's the classic version...with a 3.3K at the expander and a 10K trim for the octave:

I use to say schematics make my brain explode...then it just made my brain hurt....now they just make me curious and help me debug my projects....and for my next trick I'm gonna lose my tail and walk up right! Did you use the suggested transistors? I've heard you can use a lot of different once and it doesn't change the sound to drastically.

solidhex (Fu Manchu) gave voltages from a killer sounding original:

I used transistors in the 150-200 (which someone on the other board measured from his original 828's) range, which gave me insanely close to those voltages, except for Q6. To get 5.75 on Q6C, you'll need a lower gain transistor (~ 60 -80) or alter a resistor (I experimented by altering the 15K from B to ground)
