Messing around with a fuzz face

After all builds I did this summer, I realised I had not done a fuzz face. Not that I'm that much of a fuzz guy. I usually find them, well to fuzzy... The big muff I did has a flat tone stack and is quite tame for a fuzz and thus sounds more like a fuzzy distortion pedal. I like the Katzenkönig and Lunar module (the latter is on my to do list and boards for them should arrive next week), both of which are more like cross overs between a fuzz and distortion.

So I decided to have some fun and build a fuzz face combined with a diode clipping and gain section on vero (still haven't got a decent breadboard, but it's on my next shopping list). The aim was to get something like a fuzz face into an overdriven Marshall super bass sound. Still experimenting, but in its current form, it actually sounds pretty good. From nicely overdriven tones to thick gnarly fuzz.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
