Yet another PNP Fuzz Face

Village Idiot
This one's a keeper.
Q1 is ~100 hFE / .190mA IcLeak (OC76)
Q2 is ~186 hFE / .050mA (OC42)

Biasing done with resistors.
It growls, and has decent sustain, so I dood a ting in da right way.
I have a SB translucent red B-box for it. The trimmer will be a full-size pot.
This pic was taken just prior to me realizing I had removed the jumper wire from the 22u to ground (in case anyone noticed).

The knobs in a fuzz face are essentially useless, anyway. You get way more go from with the guitar controls.

oh look...it's captain buzzkill :ROFLMAO:

I jest of course. You are correct sir. The guitar is the key to controlling a fuzz.

I think I have enough crap...er ah gear to record into something other than a phone mic. How about I rig the LP Standard; EMG "Hets"; EMG wring harness, pots, jack; Primed&Dimed; BJIV 12" Eminence RWB; SM57; Scarlet 6i6; Logic Pro Passthrough recording?

Where's that iphone?

You tellin' me that there's something wrong with propping my phone up on the ground and playing through a tiny combo amp in to my phone mic? Pfffffft :ROFLMAO:

Probably so with you, because I suspect you can actually play...it makes little difference with mine however...sounds just as lame through a cellphone as it does through a nice rig, just louder. :ROFLMAO:

At @Harry Klippton 's request, I've removed the controls. I tried @SillyOctpuss 's suggestion, and I can't put my finger on it, but it just seemed lacking somehow.

...and shuffled things a bit about.

P2P maybe? It's only 9 doodads. What say ye?

Yes P2P!!! and then when it's in the box just connect the ins and outs and don't connect the circuit up. That'll fix schrodinger's face for sure this time. Throw some old school PIO caps and some other obnoxiously huge MOJO parts in there which aren't connected to the jacks and it will be a masterpiece!

I might build one too :-)

Okay, so I came up with this; let me know if my mojo to obnoxiously large is proportionate.
Crazy thing is; it sounds just like the last one you had me try *shrugs* electronics eh?
On the up-side of this; it makes a great little maraca !

The last thing I'd like to be associated with is competence, @fig. With competence comes expectation, and who want's to deal with that?
 
I've made another alteration. They will have one control....yes THEM!

For you youngsters and non-B-movie-sci-fi-weirdos , THEM! was a 1954 giant ants wreaking havoc in the desert flick. Back then, it was either Russians or Radiation baby!

The red enclosure is perfect! Why? BECAUSE I SAY SO! and everyone knows the mean ants are red.

The control I may have mentioned earlier today in this post will be a dual gang mixer. Why? See above! ...also because there will be TWO fantastical fuzz faces fitted effer so finely, point to point..

Will it work? Probably not, but always is fun is in doing, so not necessary to succeed each time.
