hi to all from Italy ,
my first post here..
could someone please tell me if the fuzz factory is a positive ground pedal or a negative one?
I would use it with a daisy chain, don't want to burn it ....can't find the answer in the posts in the forum..

i've used this layout:

Hi

It's negative ground.

Welcome to the forum :)

ehy thanks a lot....!!
since I saw in the vero 2 pnp germanium transistors I thought it was a postive ground pedal like the fuzz face...

an easy way to tell is by looking at the schematic

look at the top left. notice the - is going directly to ground
always think outside the box

you  are all so kind with people like me...

I'm able to do the soldering job in a perfect way but know nearly nothing about capacitors etc etc.
now looking  at your  scheme I can see the positive that goes into the circuit and the negative that link to the ground..so easy if you know how to read..

with this scheme and the help of kind people today I learn something...
