Both the 20uF cap and lug 1 of the Fuzz pot have to go to ground, doesn't matter how. On a breadboard, I would connect them to the ground rail individually, each with its own jumper, for clarity. It's another benefit of breadboards, I can spread out the circuit and see where everything is going...

There are some great breadboarding tutorials on this forum. Take a look at those for a good workflow

Do you have the right transistors? Get two units with leakage below 100uA, gain can be anywhere between 150-300 depending on the specific silicon transistors, both can have the same amount of gain (the JHF1 is around 260 iirc) or stick to the classic germanium gains, 80 for Q1 and 120 for Q2...

My suggestion is to breadboard the circuit. It's the only way you will ever learn how these things work. Then you can make your own turret board layout, like I did. What trouble is the FF giving you?

My bare minimum is a tuner and my precious Finally v3 with a 12AX7 with the HPF on by our friend @vigilante398 But for color I throw in a phaser and a chorus because I play in a cover band and my Nano+ has two empty slots

I'll have to dig out the pedal from the morgue one of these days so I can measure it

That's great. I suggest you explore the trimpots to find the Taco settings that work best for you. I initially set mine to the voltages shared by owners of the JHS pedal but I found better settings for my rig. I love this pedal, it's my dirt pedal when I perform solo.

Live Forever is good but not this good

Dude you sound exactly like Noel! And Liam!

twas but a joke, Diane

I lived through the entire decade yet I still can't believe the 80s happened. I'm glad I started the thread, you guys are coming in clutch with the schematic links!

AI? No thanks. I prefer listening to the original on a cassette and keep rewinding. It trains your ear and forces you to make creative decisions :)

I'm familiar with Otsola and the price is not absurd given he probably buys his enclosures from Fuzzcases in the UK (60-90 pounds a pop plus shipping and import) but what's capture tech? I follow Seeker Effects on Youtube and he has a video where he builds an MKI and he explains the System...

My explorations with the circuit (and the 1.5) led me to believe that what's important is getting around -8V at Q3c (Q2c in a 1.5) because that's what gives the TB its signature brighter tone than the FF while preserving the fuzz quality, as FFs lose it when the voltage climbs up from -4.5V, and...

Not it at all and it sounds terrible but it might be the amp and settings.

Could just be a bias setting for the fart. Nothing Nigerian about it. The pedals are supposed to ship in a few months. I beleve this vendor already has other products and has been aorund for a while.

No one has been able to reproduce the exact fart. The original circuit built in Greenbaum's Telecaster. I'm not clear if the guitar is still around but apparently Greenbaum himself is unable to reproduce the tone. It might've had a starved battery at the time. This is the product page for thsi...

Sounds dangerously close but I think it's too gainy. Here's the OG What do you guys think?

Wait, you guys record digitally?

Do you mean just...Logic? :)
