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

Same, but only Q1 was leaky for me. Note Q1 is also biased with a different technique, that may have something to do with it.

I would also do a search on DIYstompboxes, a couple of folks there have measured old units for multiple 60s fuzzes.
