Mystery component...

I'll try it again and report back.
From the first attempt it was dull and anemic
not much fuzz at all. With this new insight I'll
see what I get and maybe I has something
miswired in the breadboard.

Again Paul, thanks for the ideas.

Hey John. Did you ever have a chance to try this circuit out again? I threw it together on the breadboard and only got a light overdrive. Unimpressive. Nothing like in the video pygmygoatllama kindly posted. Is there anyway that this circuit could be wired to a pot that acts as a fuzz intensity control? It felt this way to me.

reviving an old post here, john did you ever et this working and sounding 'good' it seems like an interesting projet, but im wondering about which transistors to use, and about the inductor/resistor/diode/plutonium part..
