after messing around with the X ROCK again, ive settled with the last schemo above...its  a good all rounder. 8)

i had some interesting sounds with moving the 'starve' Q2 pot to the before the led diodes instead, and it was better volume matching wise to when full anti clockwise etc..

but really the sucky strainy synthy sounds were better where it was...so i'll stick with that.

as for switching between X ROCK /X FUZZ i think i'll just build them seperately in the end...

now i have the X ROCK sorted, i'll pop back to the XFUZZ and tweak that again....


finally found my 2N5088s and breaded your last posted schem above minus the recovery stage after the SWTC. Definitely sounded like it should.

It sounded great through my fender combo.
Not so great through my mesa half-stack.

Through the halfstack it became fairly thin sounding, Up'd the input cap from 4N7 to 68N but it turned it into a decent sounding FUZZ. I'll need to play with it on the Breadboard some more.

Yeah I need to try and find a happy medium to get good lowend on both my amps without the circuit getting into fuzz territory. I think it's just a result of the combo having perceivably more lowend than Mesa.

I wonder if 68N is just to much I'll have to try and slap in various values.

Forgive me my dear friend  :icon_neutral: .

What is the schematic you used in this video? (xfuzzdone or xrockdone)?

Thanks  8)

There's nothing to say... It sounds really good!

If you are looking to get more tonal control, you can quickly mod your swtc with additon of two caps.. in place of the C5, solder a 10n cap. The removed 4n7 cap should be soldered across the lugs 1-3 of the pot, and add a 1n cap (or something smaller for more treble) between lug3 and ground. Easily added "mid-shift" control with pot-position extremes similar to a standard swtc.

This may very well become my new go-to fuzz.

With your only gain control at the input, how is the white noise when you clean it up by attenuating at the 480k pot?
