Troubleshooting a Ludwig Phase 2

[pinkjimiphoton]

Experiments with the raw fuzz sound:  ( pinkjimiphoton, you might like this )

Took the signal from the junction of QF5 collector and QF6 collector and brought it straight to the breadboard to see how it sounds.
Super fuzzy but had too much extra noise.  Tacked on a simple filter.  Borrowed the basic idea from a univox superfuzz mod that Mark Hammer did.




Nice strong fuzz that you can control with the fuzz/voice switch and the fuzz mix pot.  Now, the idea is to take the unused 3rd pole of the fuzz footswitch
to select between the dry out and the fuzz out to go to the stereo out jack.  That way it won't mess with the main out of the circuit and I don't have to drill
any new holes for another jack. 

That fuzz circuit is pretty unique in the way that the fuzz mix pot sends a voltage to Q21 to control the size of the square wave.
I've not seen that before.  Thanks R.G. for the circuit explanations.  The engineers at Ludwig didn't exactly design a simple fuzzbox.
( and that's why I've spent a couple of hours so that it sounds just like a fuzzbox!  )

that is too cool!! sounds like a toneful and useful mod!
