I am planning on making a Fuzz Face for a friend who has active electronics in his guitar -- he's mentioned to me that this has made it difficult to work with regular Fuzz Face type circuits before. I was going to build it up on the Mangler; is there something I can do to the input section of this circuit (or any Fuzz Face type circuit, I guess!) that would make it a little more "friendly" with a guitar that has active electronics coming out of it? Maybe some sort of trimmer or resistance on the input?
Add the pregain pot from the easyface.
There's nothing you can do to make it actually behave like a fuzz face though. You'll get a little closer and tamer and that's it.
What about using a transformer??? Some small 1:1 transformer on the input will handle the high impedance deal
I stumbled across this after reading your last post:

I am guessing this is what you meant? If so...could I just put this on some veroboard, wire the input from the switch into it, and wire the output from the transformer directly to the in of the circuitboard?

yes thats how it should be i have done that with a tone bender and its a magical trick
