Can you make the sandspur go Velcro?

Hi!
Built a Sandspur Fuzz couple weeks ago and it’s awesome. But, can I get the filter/Velcro sound out of it? Newbie here
Thanks!

Depends on what you mean by Velcro.

I always think of “Velcro” as gated. I always think of “splatty” as undervolted/starved.

Typically, with medium/high gain silicon transistors, you need about 12-13k Ohms of collector resistance (the entire split load divider string) to get near 8 vDC.

On the other side, you need only about 220 Ohms or less to get under 1.75 vDC.
