Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1...

I requested this ages ago. I'm all about it, but seems like no one else was interested. Funny how people want to have one when that pedal show or jhs talk about something 😂
Ive been on a Maestro kick for about a month or so. Though, as I mentioned in the "pedals you want to love but dont" thread, I am always on the quest for the fuzz tone that lives in my head. I think the Maestro may be it (always loved Robby Krieger's fuzz tone, especially on the Waiting for the Sun album). I don't know if the FZ-1 is the flavor of the month for me, or the fuzz of my dreams...and nightmares. Ive been looking for a PCB, but there are hardly any. When I saw the JHS stuff last week, I got excited. Maybe I can get enough support this time.
 
If you're interested in dipping a toe into the vero waters, there's a really straightforward layout of it here which includes a daughterboard for the voltage regulator and inverter to make the 3v play nicely with a normal 9v power supply.
