This came up in a Muff variation thread as one to try.

I used the schematic and specs here:

FAUSTONE Amplifiers & Effects

Faustone electric guitar tube amplifiers and effect pedals are hand built in Toledo, Spain. Faustone.com features pictures and schematics of the Valve Klipper and Fuzz Unit pedals and the Dirty Teen 18W amplifier.

It won’t knock my favorite muff the Mayonaise off the throne but it’s unique sounding and worth building. More dynamics, more ‘immediate’ than your average Muff.

I built one on vero a while back and the thing that's weird to me is the slight dry tone under the tone. I think it's due to one less gain stage.

Now you have to learn Edwyn Collins's "A girl like you".
I have built this too on vero and i like it very much.
