Built a couple of these today. Great circuit, tons of fun. Although I will say it seems to be very picky with transistor gains and diodes. Built one with 2n5088’s in the 500 hfe range and one with 2n5088’s in the 320-350 hfe range. The lower gain transistors sounded wayyyyy better. Also, auditioned a few sets of ge diodes and ended up going with D2V’s (.33 fv) in one and 1n34a’s (.35fv) in the other. They seem to prefer the fv in the mid .30’s rather than the mid .20’s. All in all, super gnarly vintage fuzz with some octave thrown in. The Tone Boost footswitch is a great addition as well, seems to be an overall effect boost as well.
