I was playing around with a Si Fuzz Face this weekend on the breadboard, and it just wasn't doing enough. Voltages were all where they should have been, but the fuzz died out too fast and high notes were nearly clean. The decay would fizzle out, too. I tried a bunch of different transistors with the same result every time. On a lark I replaced my fuzz control capacitor with a 100uf, and all of a sudden the problem was fixed. I'm curious why the called-for 20uf didn't work in this case, and I needed such a huge value.
