I've swapped Q1 with 2N3440.

I've set the Q2 collector on 4.5v via 10K trimpot, and soldered 47p cap to Q2 across BC legs to eliminate hiss.

I will record a demo of it so you can hear it and tell if it's good sounding, I think it sounds quite good! :icon_mrgreen:

Here are some sound samples:

Sound sample 1: http://picosong.com/Ng3W/
Sound sample 2: http://picosong.com/NgnQ/
Sound sample 3: http://picosong.com/NgnU/

Tell me if my Fuzz Face sounds good and if there are any flaws.

My only concern about the sound is: when guitar signal gets really low, fuzz doesn't follow all the way through.  ???

You can hear it in the samples above if you try hard enough

I think it's nice, how did you recorded it?
Is it the fuzz only in the radiohead's?

The fuzz is in all three samples, same settings: fuzz and volume turned all the way.

I recorded it on a samsung galaxy s 3 phone.
