Can i keep the fuzz completely out by removing 1k, 47uF and the fuzz pot and connect Q1 C to ground?<br />Gert ten Hovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06060662369534080060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-23081199197568884332018-06-21T12:50:49.112+01:002018-06-21T12:50:49.112+01:00Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have a real...Hi, I know this is an old thread but I have a real WTF and wanna add some low end.

There is voltage showing on q1 (2222) and q2 (3906) and all knobs respond but there just isn't any WTF nastiness. <br /><br />I have no boost circuit or 3pdt on/off and have the input grounded to circuit and output grounded to volume 1, the rest like the pic.<br /><br />Can anyone shed some light on this?

(Do Zeners work as clippers?). I'll try some stuff before committing to the switch wiring. I am gonna try to avoid back-to-back, though, since I already did that to get to 560k in both spots--doable, but a kludge. <br /><br />Oh, it also occurs that socketing lets me test eq cap values before committing on that switch, too.

What choice of diodes do you have?<br />I have not built this, so don't know for sure, but solder in some sockets and try everything you have got - silicon, germanium, Schottkys etc.. When you find the ones you like best, put them on a switch as you have suggested. <br />I do this on a regular basis, and have quite a large selection of Si and Ge diodes - mostly Soviet ones to choose from. In fact I rarely end up with the specified diodes these days!Beakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917197600071428570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-8323939115757289212015-11-11T18:43:01.055+00:002015-11-11T18:43:01.055+00:00Has anyone done much messing around with choice of...Has anyone done much messing around with choice of clipping diodes?

The effect is mostly noticable when the wtf knob is turned up. But I like it a lot. <br /><br />Is there any way of adding something like the pulse/wave control on the zvex fuzzolo to this circuit to give it even more flexibility?
