Hi,
I built a Boutique Late 60's Fuzz Face from General Guitar Gadget, and the sound is a little bit thin.
is there any modes to improve that ?
Thanks,
Nuts.

increase the size of the output cap and verify that your bias is in a good range.

also, some transistors sound thinner than others just by nature.

I replace the resistor to the values the smallbear recommand to me, and it really sounds good !
I read it in GEO that adding a 10pf from collector to base on the second transistor which cuts some highs, and it helps too...

if you have more ideas for fuzz face mods please let me know

  check out Fuzz Central and Axis Face, a treble rolloff capacitor in a different position on this one.
