OK......fineally got around to building this.  I socket-ed the resistors in question and in short, found the suggested subs from SB to NOT sound as good as the ones listed in Madbeans BOM.  Tone/sound being a subjective thing/just my opinion............ So there you go.
With the OC75's, this is a great sounding fuzz pedal that responds well to your guitar volume.  It can go from next to no fuzz, to a metal type of sound, to a "Spirit in the Sky" sounding fuzz and a lot of variations in between.
I went with a volume control.  Also went with the suggested 25kB pot swap for the balance.
Another excellent project from "The Bean"!!!

Thanks for the suggestions.  I plan to build this within the next week or so and will post my findings.
Thanks again and happy holidays!

As suggested, I purchased a set of OC75's from Small Bear and they came with "recommended" resistors.  As I don't want to screw up these fine transistors, I was wondering if anyone knew where these substitutions go.....or.....do I even use them?
  The included schematic from SB is of a Colorsound Tone Bender that states replacement of R3, (suggested replacement value is 20k), and R8, (suggested replacement value is 11k).  In compairing this schematic with the Bumblebee, the nearest I can figure is his "R3", is the Bee's "R6", and his "R8", is the Bee's "R8"
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
