A new version of an old idea.
Better LOAD control to emulate treble cut of Full Fuzz. If you use silicon for the fuzz transistors ("FACE"), the trim pot to ground should be 2k or 2k5 for best results.
Schematic drawn for germanium ("BENDER").





PCB will follow... Autocad... bad export facilities if you want it exact on scale...

Or look in schematics for something better

again been there for years

Think about the EF

Looks like the 3 tran. The 3 tran is more advanced

I quess some don't look at the schematics section

I know that circuit and tried it. FF + pre treble = high gain distortion.

I did post the purple face vI too two years ago; The goal of the circuit was to make slight tweaking possible to get different shades of fuzz face, not a very new thing. The first load pot was too big (470k) giving almost no difference from mid to low. It didn't have the extra cap to ground either. Result was quite too sharp fuzz to blurry stuttered.
