Artemisia: Where's the dignity in taking my picture with these dreaded knots, mum? Hurry up and finish brushing it all out!
Me: Shoosh and smile for the camera.

And that's all you need to build a distortion pedal.
In this case, this original Arbiter Fuzz Face reissue sounded like ass (apparently like all of the reissues). I swapped the transistors (that had hFE of 30 to 40) to higher gain AC128s and restored the resistor values to stock values. That did the trick.
hoy me corte el pelo

This is an extremely well-engineered pedal, but I don't know that I'm its target demo.
It seems like a fuzz pedal for people who really hate dealing with fuzz pedals. It's got a ton of filters. A lot of those switches that I assumed were changing values in the circuit (like most fuzz pedals) are apparently engaging filters. Like the "Edge-Smooth" switch and the "Tone 60's-70's" switch both sound like RC or RLC filters. The "Tight" control sounds like a high-pass filter. I'm pretty sure the "Germanium-Silicon" switch is a filter, as well, because I don't see a germanium transistor in the pedal, but I may be missing it.
That said, it's a very stable pedal. I tried it with the Steinberger and the Tinsel Tart and it does the job great with whatever pickups you're using and cleans up with the guitar's Volume knob.
The Boost can be switched into an Octave Boost and it's really cool-sounding, but it's also really, really bright. Of course, there are three effects loops on this box, all of which are switchable internally for pre/post operation. There's one that engages when you kick the Fuzz on. There's one that engages when the Boost comes on. There's also one that engages when you bypass the pedal, so you could put something like a Tube Screamer in the bypass loop and switch between overdrive and fuzz just by engaging the fuzz. So an EQ in the Boost loop could even out the crazy going on there...but I don't own an EQ pedal.
Anyway, pretty cool stuff.
