Teddy Rupture is a Jordan Bosstone with a voltage starve and extra clipping diodes. The Bosstone uses two transistors, one NPN and one PNP. The Doom Stick has three NPN transistors. Unlike the Fuzz Face and Bosstone, the two gain stages in the Doom Stick aren’t DC coupled, and they don’t have the feedback resistor that connects Q2’s emitter to Q1’s base. This is something different—two transistors configured as a Darlington pair going into a single transistor set up as a common emitter amplifier with shunt feedback. Neither gain stage is revolutionary on its own, but I don’t know offhand of any other circuit that combines them like this.Going to necro instead of starting a new thread.
I think it's a yaffs. It's a teddy rupture(or other variant) with a little less gain(*)and a Darlington pair subbed for Q1.
It took me a minute to identify because it has a lot more interstage filtering.
But, and please prove me wrong, it's a modded FF.
*I used some 2N3567s in my first build (with other mods(!after some auditioning. They don't *fuzz* as much as add a light squaring of the peaks that, when pushing a slightly dirty amp, give you a definite added harmonic content without blurring it.
Transparent fuzz¿ No. F*ck that.
But yeah, I think it's a FF
Damnit I did it again. I don't know why but it's well documented here that I mix up the teddy rupture and meathead on a regular basis. Maybe it's the 3 letter designer. KMA, DAM.
