...Or something like that.

About a week ago I thought about building a simple fuzz that consists of a one big muffs distortion stage. But for some reason I decided to that and a fuzz face together, and last night I built it.
Probably it's very unoptimal with quite wrong component values, but it works :D

Here's a sound sample: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~lauripek/muff_face_sample.mp3
It's played through a Behringer GDI-21 with clean settings to get a cabinet modelling.
0:00 - 0:09 5k pot in almost minimum, guitar volume full and playing on lowest strings of A-tuned guitar with neck pickup.
0:10 - 0:24 same settings, but now gradually rising guitars volume
0:25 - 0:37 same, vol max
0:38 - 0:52 5k pot in almost maximum, bridge pickup used.

...and the schematic for it:

R11 is a 5k pot and R8&R9 is a 100k pot.
