One massive as high flair at The Shed in Cranbourne. Fuzz knows how to go high!!

A llama or some sort of creature like it. Doing some experimenting with HDR using Photomatix.
As I'm just starting to play around with this process to find a workflow and style I like, any feedback is welcome.
Since my shrink tubing came in today, I went ahead and finished this Fuzz Factory build. Then I spent WAY too much time experimenting with transistors. I finally went with these two relatively low gain Russian transistors because they're still gain-y enough to fuzz like crazy and they're indestructible compared to most germanium transistors. Which is necessary with a Fuzz Factory. So Q1 is an MP39B with an hFE of 42 and Q2 is a GT308B with an hFE of 79.
These are basically a Fuzz Face circuit with pots controlling things that the user should never be allowed to control...heh... I mean, not really. It's just that a lot of people try these out and it's SO easy to get it doing something terrifying that there's a lingering assumption that these just exist to make random noises. Which they're really good at, but they're a pretty tweakable fuzz in terms of getting sounds you actually want to use melodically. Like, I wonder what Hendrix would have done with one of these.
So what you've got is the Fuzz and Volume controls from a Fuzz Face with a three position switch added to change the input capacitor, which changes the overall bass response. Then you've got a Stability control, which is just a voltage control that allows you to starve the circuit for voltage. Finally there's a Gate control that's really Q1 bias and a Compression control that's Q2 bias. Lowering the Q1 bias will make the whole circuit cut out below a given voltage threshold, so it really does act like a gate in a way. People use it for glitchy stuff. Then the Compression control (which is very interactive for obvious reasons with the Gate control) changes the way Q2 (the "Tone" transistor) behaves. Lowering it reduces dynamic range, so in a way it actually does act like a compression control.
These circuits are really touchy and there are more, "challenging" sounds here than traditionally usable ones, but they really can do some cool things.
8mm厚のフレームの特徴をフルに活かした、エフェクターのコンセプトを体現する代表的モデル。
Fully emphasizing the 8mm-thick acetate frame, the "fuzz" best represents the concept of EFFECTOR eyewear.
