It acts as a filter; filtering out the unwanted frequencies (the squeals). It’s not in schematics because it’s not part of the circuit. Squeals, however, are. You could go through 10 Fuzz Faces, and maybe 3 would sound decent. Add that 33p cap, and all 10 would rock, most likely. The Fuzz Face...

33p from c to b of q2 solves most Fuzz Face issues…

A friend of mine in high school had a blue stripe bandit for his “jam” amp (he’d leave his 5150 at home…). It didn’t sound good. But it wasn’t bad. Not at all. A bandit 20, compressor, od, and distortion stacked would be totally usable. Like all good solid state amps, the Bandit gives you an...

Mono Twilighter? What’s the point?… On a serious note: check out Psionoc Audio on YouTube. He’s an amp tech and does live q&a’s on Saturday’s most weeks. Pop on a tad early and ask him in the chat window…

My Fender Blender goes to 12…

I’m still using the plastic jar I got at Radio Shack 25 years ago. It’s more than half-full. Of course, I was taught to only use it to clean the tip…

Muff Party? More like Sausage Fest…

Which one is the one, ya know? I mean which one brings the thunder/the boys to the yard/to the highway to the danger zone, ya know?… So it seems there are a few different versions: you have the OG with a transformer and transistors (ferrite/Ge), then you have one that is the same except it’s...

Let me tell you about the 1n34a…

My wife and I watched them film parts of it. Not to ruin the magic, but Newport, RI was actually Cape May, NJ. They filmed there last May…while my wife and I were down for a few days. It was neat watching the extras and seeing all the old cars and stuff. We saw Chalamet and another guy riding...

I don’t think the pedal is meant to be the pedal version of the OG, it’s more a pedal version of THAT sound… …I’ll buy one…

Peter Yarrow was also the MC at the infamous Newport Folk Festival in 1965 when Dylan went electric. If anyone has ever heard Puff the Magic Dragon, that’s Peter Yarrow…

My wood from this build has yet to diminish...I am starting to get sore...still worth it, though...

Genuinely ejaculatory. Well done indeed…

Yay!…

I believe either side will work since they both are ground points. Where do you have the white wire from the battery connected? Also, double-check that the white wire from the lower-right gnd lug connects to the case of the attack pot… Check this out…...

I think that’s where the -9v was originally attached before the OP reattached it. The FZ-1a has an off switch built in to the volume control. OP, check out the lower right-hand corner of that board; it looks like that transistor casing could be touching something…

I want you to know that I want you to get this thing working. The FZ-1a is like my dream pedal. You are a lucky sun of a bytch, and I will do what I can to help. And if I can’t, maybe @Chuck D. Bones can help. He’s a good kid…

I wouldn’t go there yet. Double check that you have 1.5v from the battery. Visually check all values with the schematic…

Ok. Those do seem off. Usually it’s around .5/1/.7…
