FUZZ
Description
After the Cyclone, I wanted to explore more-historical paths of the Fuzz Face and the Tone Bender. I had already tried in the past, but germanium transistors were a source of problems. This problem was wiped away thanks to silicon. But the Fuzz Face schematic alone would have made my work just another version; I wanted something else, something special. I worked on adapting old Russian (silicon) transistors, and I obtained something surprising, especially in the upper part of the gain, and it became quite uncontrollable at times (this is the “Danger Zone”, and I left this risky zone as a sonic possibility). I then played with a third transistor stage, which can be partly split by the switch, and that gives yet another colour, different, rounder and fatter
