well, i've got a mac.  it has some photo editing stuff installed, but no illustrating programs installed.   i'm sure i could find some sort of freeware.

anyone wanna breadboard this thing and give it a listen?

i picked that up a bit ago.  looks cool, haven't had a chance to play with it yet. 

thanks for the links though!

Has anyone worked up a pcb layout for this ?
I got my GT313's !

Thanks, Dan

I have about 1000 GT313 transistors.. 100 GT308B.. 200 MP42A
And a used shoes box, full of unsorted Ge transistors..

And... I hate fuzzes :) I have FF clone and 2 my own Si and Ge fuzzes.. I never turn them on  :P

there is a vero layout in my gallery.  also check out the Toecutter-  a super sludgy fuzz i made for the october FX comp.

here's the vero-http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/rnfr/DIRTY+BOOTS/DIRTYBOOTSV3_3VERO.png.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1
everything is verified except the millenium bypass- didn't have to use it on the build i did.
try putting a 100k resistor in series with the bias lug 1.  also a 1M or 500K pot on the input might be better than the 100K.  more range and effect.

and the toecutter-

try a variable resistor instead of the fixed one in the feedback loop with the .1 uF cap for a "shape control"
