Anyone has the article "Build an Optimum Fuzz Adapter" by Craig Anderton?

Hello,

After I've finished the Anderton Comparator Fuzz and I liked it very much, I am curious about the schematic of Optimum Fuzz Adapter.
I searched for it, but with no luck.
Does anyone knows from where I can get it?

Thanks a lot!

I've looked for that old poptronics article myself and have never been able to find it. I've seen references to it, issue and date info etc in internet searches, but not the article itself. I wouldn't mind having it for nostalgia purposes.

I've searched for it too, but with no luck as you :)

I have a scan of it.  Forget where I got it from.  There is not much to it.

I can't post it from work, but I'll post it later tonight or tomorrow.

Quite frankly, not worth the wait.

Thank you very much Mark!

You might like the above if you like fuzzes posted in this thread.

Think of it as a muff fuzz /ultra fuzz mix with a nice tuning of the BMP tone control.
Yes the input has cap value that low.  Unlike some schematics posted all the stages were optimized.  Don't let the hand drawn schematic mislead you.  The opamp selected can change the sound in some settings because of the open loop gain and gain bandwidth product and recovery of the 2nd.  I like a real NS lf353.  The unit can be set for gating and other fun things.

Thank you Gus! It seems to me to be a very interesting schematic. I will give it a try as soon as I will have some time for it :)

I just noticed the funny way the battery is connected.

Yeah at first look it does look weird, but after redrawing the schematic my way on paper it's is wired up just like a normal voltage divider. A bit strangely drawn as what looks like the ground line in the schematic is the 4.5v Vref, but I'm sure you've already looked at it and realized. :)
