FuzzRanger

Here is my other tolexed box. It's got a silicon Tonebender and one of the new mini Rangemaster boards. I debated over what order to put them in and decided on Fuzz-Rangemaster. I find the treble boost not useful with the Tonebender in front but with the input cap switched to mid-boost it makes the Tonebender sing and cut through.

I did one mod - the 10nF to ground on the Tonebender was changed to 1nF. This makes the circuit noisier but it really opens it up on my Tele. A great sweet spot plus it reacts perfectly to rolling the guitar volume down. Also, I spent some time on transistor selection and finding the right Hfe on them. I used 2N4401 for Q1 and Q2 and a 2n3565 for Q3. Q2 is about 100Hfe and Q3 about 130.

I had to get a bit creative with the power and ground wires since there were a lot of them to connect.
