I really like this fuzz. Very happy with how it came out. I implemented the Midrange mod on it based off this thread Here

It sounds really good with the octave switch on and off. I got a set of authentic 2N3565 transistors from Small Bear.

Really happy with how this came out. The mid-range switch does make a difference. Really, all options are very useful.

I think I messed up the labeling for the clipping switch though. The up position is much louder than the down. Making me think its switching to silicon diodes up and Ge down. Which is very odd since the tracing on the board looks to be how I labeled it. So, I could be wrong.

Besides that, I'm in love with this classic fuzz.

Pics suck. They came out very blue for some reason. I tried to brighten the pics up, but I don't think it helped. You get the point. Clear waterslide decal on a satin white spray-painted enclosure.

Awesome job here, nice and tidy!

The toggle switch direction is opposite of the PCB trace, down connects the middle and top lugs, up connects the middle and bottom lugs.

Thanks dude! Okay, that verifies it. I knew no way those Ge diodes were going to be louder than those 1N4148s. Time to break out the white out

Dig it. Lovely build. I've really taken to the 2N 3567/8/9 transistors. They seem to have an extended range and clarity even when saturated.
If you have a derm to try them in, do it. They're huge. It's almost not a fuzz and instead a square wave boost.
But nobody but them. They're all mine. LOL

Great looking build.

No need to get white-out — go back in the box with a hot-iron & solder-sucker, and swap the diodes around.

Some toggle-info & stuff... and this:

Beautiful build

I’m with @Feral Feline on the diode swap. Easy fix. Pot mislabel on the other hand is a heartbreaker haha.

Where did you get the build doc?

Didn't need the build doc as all the values were all silk screened on the PCB.
