Good luck.Thanks, and great job! I'm going to give this a try.

Neatness is overrated.I really need to start developing a neatness strategy...
Nice True Bypass circuit!!!One size, fits all!
@Coda , I whipped this up today using your instructions (I used 2n5089 and 2n3904) and, I've gotta say, this thing is pretty rad! I've seen the Bazz Fuss from runoffgroove and built it. THIS puts 2 of them together and blends them. IMO, this really shines with downed tuning guitars for some doooooooom. The other breadboards in my pics have the gyrator which I'm asking everyone here in a separate thread to help, but this is a very simple and effective circuit. Great job!!!!I did my best. It looks a mess, but I'm 99% sure it'll work...View attachment 15447
Glad to see it worked for someone else. My first schematic passed the test.@Coda , I whipped this up today using your instructions (I used 2n5089 and 2n3904) and, I've gotta say, this thing is pretty rad!

EDIT: It was really noisy for me using the bare circuit posted. I threw a 100uf cap in the power rails and cleaned a lot of it up, but not 100% not sure if it's the circuit or my breadboard (it's my "bad" one).
EDIT2: As a +1 I would add a tone control of some kind right before the volume pot. Perhaps a Big Muff variant? I threw my stripboard build of one on there and was pleased.

I’ll have to try a 3904 in mine. I’ll also try the big muff tone stack, though I think I’ll put more mids in. Did you elimate the tone control t the input? Or did you run both?@Coda , I whipped this up today using your instructions (I used 2n5089 and 2n3904) and, I've gotta say, this thing is pretty rad!

I kept both in. Yours acts as a pre-gain/clipping EQ and the other is post clipping. The post is more dramatic, but the pre tweaks it just a bit more.I’ll have to try a 3904 in mine.

Maybe I’ll redesign the pre-eq as an toggle.I kept both in. Yours acts as a pre-gain/clipping EQ and the other is post clipping. The post is more dramatic, but the pre tweaks it just a bit more.
I just auditioned a few Muff tone stacks. Worked pretty well…but a little too muffish for me. I ended up taking it out. I did, however, replace the A100k with a B100k for my input control. I much prefer it.@Coda , I whipped this up today using your instructions (I used 2n5089 and 2n3904) and, I've gotta say, this thing is pretty rad!
