Not getting enough FUZZ ?

[crawler486]

I bought a "Fuzz Tone" kit and assembled the parts according
 to instructions. It seems to work BUT I aint getting enough Fuzz
 out of it.   How can I modify the circuit so it it gains more fuzz.

 Thanks!

Hi.  If it's one of those "pair of diodes" kits, then you'll get better results with humbucking pickups than single coil.  If you're stuck with single coil, you could use a booster than the fuzz unit.

But really, it's hard to get the quality of something like a fuzzface or RM axis fuzz from those kits.

good luck

yes, its a pair of diodes.
I came accross a webpage before saying if you put into series 2 pairs of diode, it will more gain? Is it true? if so, how will i do it

Add a Mosfet Booster before it, then drive it harder.

You'll be able to keep the original smoother sound...

Just another hitch less tricky than the Mosfet.
 How newb are you...look at Skills you need, beginner forum, I used the Tweak-O article at Small Bear as my beginners pictorial/tutorial...easy to follow beginner info there can be applied to any project !!

Can u pls show me the site?

Here it is:

And it can be used as a very clean booster anytime...

A pcb layout is available on another site not far...

My favorite booster
