Starboard Fuzz - Fuzz control seems backwards

[Robusto]

Hey,

Just finished the Starboard Fuzz (Mosrite FUZZrite). It seems like the fuzz control is functioning in reverse. 100% Clockwise the fuzz is kinda quiet - 100% counterclockwise and it seems much more intense. Is this normal for this circuit, or do I have some other weird problem?

Thanks!

That’s just the way it works. It’s not really a fuzz/gain control in that normal sense. It’s more like a colour control blending two signals in and out of phase.

Cool, thanks! I didn't know much about this one before I built it. Glad to know I didn't manage to screw up something so small and simple, ?
