Violenzz build

[gordo]

This doesn't really warrant a build report but just a note that I picked up a pair of the 183 trannies from StompBoxParts.com and the pedal sounds killer.  This is by far my favorite FF build.  I swapped out a couple of resistors to raise the output slightly (I'll open it up to find out which ones).  I auditioned all kinds of transistors trying to match the HFE's and fell short.  I can't even tell you what these ended up being but I'm scared to touch it now

Only fuzz face lovers will understand how true this statement is. I cannot count how many times fuzz a will sound amazing on Tuesday only to find out it sounds like hell on Thursday

Exactly why I never bothered with this finicky circuit or germanium transistors in general.
