Hey guys; i uh accidently designed my own Fuzz box hahahaha.  

alright i lied; hours on end of breadboarding, ideas upon ideas, and i finally came up with a victory; which costed a maestro fuzz tone, and 15 bux.  Here's my 2 beloved:



The M1-A1 Buzz-Tone, and the M1-A2 Super-Buzz.  

Here's the guts:





i used:
-vintage caps (sprague)
-High gain silicon transistors
-silicon Diodes
-Pots from an old washing machine or something
-Switchcraft jacks
-Carbon comp resistors

i used the enclosure of a maestro Fuzz-Tone for my Super-Buzz Prototype.  

So; what do youse guys think eh?
