Nope sorry on the Anti-Buffer, you can just copy my layout from the pics, it's a simple build. All the components he discusses in his video.

No rush, I'm backed up on projects. But if it's easy and you get a moment, I would appreciate that.
I put his LM386 fuzz on a breadboard shortly after he released that video. I had some of those little PCBs on hand. Like a lot of his stuff, it was an agreeable way to pass the time, but as I recall only the first 5% of the volume pot was usable for me. Past that, it was an unpleasant cacophony of square waves.

I should have kept scrolling before responding. Thanks for taking a look all the same.

Yah, it was a fun project and nice break from PCB's. I ordered the 386 amp boards from AliExpress.
There's definitely a lot of harsh tones out of it, which I expected seeing as it was an LM386 based dirt box.
I should dig it out and give it another go (or re-purpose the salvageable components...

For something like the pickup-sim/buffer buster... the info's out there, SCULLY!
Several of AionFX's (Solaris, Proteus etc) — and perhaps a few of PedalPCB's projects — have a transformer-before-fuzz, from which you could extrapolate a buffer-buster/pickup-simulator, not to mention:
Oops, I mentioned.

Got a junk pickup you pulled from a cheap guitar so you could stick expensive pickups into the otherwise worthless guitar?
Stuff a pedal with the cloned guts of a '71 LP Recording guitar
AND that brings us also to the topic of revoicing your guitar with some caps...
Get a bunch of caps on a rotary switch.
Since I play bass, most any guitar-oriented carefully curated collection of capacitors can't be capitalised upon by me, so I'll have to commit to culling my own happy cappy-freqiness...
Nonetheless the '71 LP WIRING schematic/diagram has some starter values on the DECADE rotary.
Now you've gotta decide do I need a fuil 12 options, or will 6, 5, or 4 do? How much rotary-ised capacitance will suffice for your needs?
generalguitargadgets.com
Popping on the rotary? Is the switch brake-before-make? Or break-before-make? Will one way be better than the other? Can you add a pull-down resistor?

I'd like to spring for the schematic McPherson got out of ChatGPT, I'm interested in that — alas, at the moment there's too much in the BUILD-QUEUE to consider it just yet. Dagnabbit, there's always too much in the build-queue — one of which is the ChatGPT thinger from Robert/Revv.

I use a lot of different fuzzes in different configurations with a pedal switcher/looper (which has a built-in buffer) and I've been thinking about building a few of these to go in front of fuzzes. I wonder if stacking them will be a problem and/or if they undo some of the clarity that comes with buffers.
I also wonder if I could just build some buffers and tack this on the end of the circuit? Why doesn't everyone do that? (well, maybe because of the stacking issues?)
