Here's the site:

This is an A. Leo circuit from back in 1968 out of Popular Electronics. He just called it "Fuzz Tone". The first words after" Fuzz tone" are "Produces intentional distortion". I know I read an old article on here once upon a time, that had this EE pulling his hair out, because after all they had done to produce high fidelity, "there are people that are intentionally distorting their guitar tones"! I guess A. Leo must have decided that "if those darn kids are bent on distorting their amplifiers, than By God we'll give it to em"! I went ahead and made this thing plug and play, since I'm out of DPDT switches at the moment. I left out the "Normal" selection too, so that just leaves fuzz. Really, this is not nearly as much a fuzz circuit as it is a grinding, snarling, and thick, distortion. This old 68 circuit gets right at the edge of Heavy Metal, and you can pretty much grind out your Black Sabbath tunes with it. This is a wicked little distortion circuit. I can't remember exactly what I bought these 2N3565 transistors for, but I was thinking it might have been the FTM. I decided not to build it, since I already have a French Toast, so maybe that's where they came from. This circuit sounded great through either my tube amp, or my SS amp. It has real good sustain and volume too. I would guess that somehow this massive 4.7 Meg resistor between Q1 base and Q2 emitter has something to do with heaviness of this distortion. This is a basic simple circuit, but it's a sleeper im my estimation. I believe Brian Wenz built this circuit last year sometime, but it seems to have had some sort of problem, and it didn't seem to go much of anywhere. I would guess that the "Normal" mode is basically a boost off the first transistor, and I really didn't need that.
