A friend of mine just picked one of these up and it is killer. Has anyone seen this schematic around anywhere? It's so awesome I'm surprised I haven't seen it around.

  what does it sound like?
  Big Muff [would be 4 transistors in there
  Tonebender  [3 transistor
  Fuzz Face [2 transistor
  ?
  Check out the TB's at GGG, ...or is it Fuzzcentral...

ive seen this thing around

its got pots labeled "SUSTAIN TONE VOLUME" so maybe its a modified big muff
it would also explain the name JUMBO fuzz
no gut shots though....

Jumbo Tone Bender variant perhaps?   The JTB is a Big Muff with the first set of clipping diodes and last transistor stage removed.

I listed the name of the unit and the builder. Jen manufactured them for Dallas-Arbiter.

I'll have to borrow it for a day or two to get some gut shots. Heres the pic from Dragonfly's gallery.

have you found the colorsound Jumbo Fuzz Schematic?
  I've got a feeling that's it or something close.

Awesome. I thought some of those might be related but I wasn't sure. I'll check the guts.

Thanks
