I guess not only is it my first super fuzz, it is my first clone build guitar pedal. I have the original Super Fuzz and I've always liked it it was a gift from a friend when I was 16. I like using it however it eats batteries and I don't want to get any more torn up than what it is. Circuit-wise it works great the outside is getting kind of rough.
My original has SC536-F6F transistors and two extremely large and well matched diodes at .290 Vf.
I used SC945 transistors and a couple 1N34 diodes. One at .305 Vf and one at .287 Vf.
The only hardware change im gonna make if i can get it to work is a dpdt toggle that is on/on/on configured.
Wired correctly, it should give me a "both" tone setting in the middle.
Thought i would try it as haven't seen anybody try it yet and it is a way to get a middle ground tone setting withour adding or modifying resistance to the tone circuits.
Here is a video link comparing the two pedals:
