damn dyslexic atheism strikes again ? beats me.
i took it apart. interesting way it was done, very clean and very easy to follow and work on,
even for a moroon like me.
got pix of some of it so gimme a sec here....
still waiting... lol
ok, first, the fuzz.
the top of the board. i have yet to write down the values, i hope to do so in the morning when i have good light to see. the leftmost trace is partially obscured, but if ya follow the line of my thumb it actually lines up. weird.


here's the trace side

here's the trace side reversed in case you're like me and like to draw the circuit onto the reversed trace to see what goes where. long story, but memory of a lobotomized circus flea here. so for me, it's easier to visualize

the transistors, at least the one i can see under the goop appear to be bc109 c's
orange drop is .33uF @75
other caps are chocolate colored blobs, all .001 @100v which is likely why the fuzz sounds so bloody @#$%ing atrocious.
outer foil of the first two facing the plug in area, marked by orange marks. <looking at top of board with them on bottom left> third .001 outer foil facing upwards.
the orientation matters, cuz if the outer foil isn't on the outside, you get a martian/mexican/alien/nsa radio reciever instead of a shield.
it's entirely possible they f'd this up. just presenting the facts, folks.
ANYWAYS...
here's the values i believe i see, but i don't see very well these days without really bright light.

the fuzz is supposed to work on both channels, so i am imagining its a stereo in with a mono out. its freekin weird. the amp will run with ANY of the cards pulled. seriously.
yet somehow, both channels run thru the fuzz.
i believe the outermost trace around the board is ground, i gotta take voltage measurements and stuff still. right now i'm just looking.
this, however is what's killed the damn thing, either the transistor, and unmarked button one, or some of its peripherals have died, messing up the preamp unless i'm mistaken.
the "channel two" only output works loud n proud.
the paralleled channel out put is about 12 db below unity with the thing pegged, which is NOT right, and appears to come right off those output jacks to the suspect transistor. this thing uses them same gawdawful spade connectors as the ludwig did, but at least are soldered on and heavily.

a couple random pics




the first two show where the preamp card mount was snapped off the front panel by the fedex monkeys, pointing at it with my pointy thing.
anyways.. i'm all in, its 1234 am here so i am outta here... let me know your thoughts! its entirely possible i've messed up some values, i cannot tell white and yellow or green and blue apart very well anymore unfortunately.
check in tomorrow... peace!
