Hello I'm going to send a zvex fuzzolo (sans volume pot but usually 50k) into the last part of a tychobrahe octave fuzz (specifically the transformer and the two 1n34a diodes) what volume pot should I be using at the end of all this and what's the science behind working this out. Thanks!

Without schematic it's hard to say but 500k existing Volume pot of tychobrahe octavia should be fine..

Thanks! This is the schematic of the fuzzolo part... it ends with an SHO.

Large enough to not load down your output section, small enough not to be significantly loaded down by the following input (which will probably be 1 M or 500 K-ish). 100 K is a nice round common value that sits around the middle of these constraints.
