The putting substitution of the operational amplifier can be done with comparative ease if it hopes because the operational amplifier is put on IC socket. As a personal opinion though it doesn't recommend.
This Fazz is very complete as it is.
Alright, a couple of tiny additions. The trimmer pot in the middle of the board is a bias pot. Gonna be necessary if I'm going to start toying with silicon/germanium hybrids. The trimmer pot on the bottom right is to brown out the voltage. So you can starve the circuit like with a dying battery.
The kitties followed me all over the backyard as I tested out my camera. I don't know who "Liza Sue" is, but this is Fuzzface just relaxin'.
I like to burn 'em in for a few days to make sure they aren't on the verge of failure. Some of them are old as me, y'know? Also note that they're in nice Mill-Max sockets, so a failed transistor can be swapped out and it ain't no thang.
This is very wonderful FUZZ. I will strongly recommend it to the person who is looking for a good quality clone of FUZZFACE. Moreover, the condition of the painting (hand paint) is very excellent, and it doesn't exist in the not a bit like the amateur.
Well not really Russian, just soviet themed.

Gonna do a double pedal with a Fuzz Face and a Rangemaster. Not an original idea, but I wanna mess around with it some.
This is mk2 clone, has three germanium transistor. Though it sleeps in the with part's own way respectively and it is rolling.
In the substrate of the pedal of a lot of present EQD, the color is a black. However, this is still green. I do not know the color of the substrate of TUSK before. Is this V2 than another?
So here's my little improvised control panel jig. See the pins at the four corners? Those keep the guide centered each time. I haven't drilled the holes yet, but there will be holes in the template for controls and the footswitch and this way each one will come out close to exactly like all the others. And of course being sandwiched between these pieces of wood will keep the aluminum from deciding to climb up the drill bit and shape-shift into a finger-removal device. Which is pretty much an E Ticket attraction the first time it happens to you. I had a piece of brass do it to me a few years ago when I was doing the Swamp Plexi panels and it was like the damn thing had a life of its own. "And now you witness my true power!!!" I'm all like, "Dude! Mad respect! Leave me my fingers!!!"
I made a frame out of some 1/2" aluminum bar stock to hold the 10" x 4" pieces of aluminum panel in place. The pins are furniture assembly pins that I use to pin register it at the four corners.
BTW, I realize this is all probably too DIY for some people, but this is how I was able to make it happen before, so this is how I decided to do it again. If I was smarter, I might have some really cool Metropolis-looking way of doing this, but I works with what I gots.
Just to give you guys a heads-up, I got in a couple of pounds of new powder colors yesterday. That's, "Double Blue Vein" on the left, which is supposed to be two different colors of blue all kind of liquid-light-show'd together. On the right is a similar thing that's supposed to be orange and silver, called (appropriately enough), "Orange/Silver Vein."
I've got a shipment of enclosures that should be here Monday. My plan is to do the big ones in the orange color for the Fuzz Face boards and the small ones in the double-blue for the Rangemasters.
I'd like to list a few of each next week, if all goes well.
As for the body, the Hummertone finish is given. It is a tone vender erstwhile greatly. The color is exquisiteness.
Since these hybrid Fuzz Faces are actually going to be a Fool product, I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time with the testbed over the next couple of weeks. I was worried about it disintegrating from all the use, since I kind of threw it together for an afternoon of testing transistors. So I took a piece of the 18-gauge aluminum (which I'm not going to be using for the new enclosures) and drilled a couple of holes in it for the input and output jacks. Then I put a 90-degree bend in it to get them up where they'd be handy. Then I mounted the board on a couple of standoffs. It probably looks shaky, but that board weighs nothing. It feels pretty solid attached like that.
So yeah, it's still not a fancy piece of test equipment, but it seems a little more durable. I have some more things I want to try before I set the circuit in stone and now I'm not as worried about it all coming apart in my hands while I make that happen.
Eh, might as well get a few points for style. I went ahead and set it up with a "control panel" so that stuff isn't floating around.
BTW, Mouser has been backordered on 24mm 2K Alpha pots for a month now. I've got a 16mm pot in there right now for the Fuzz control. That's why those two shafts are different.

The pedal of EQD uses such all beautiful fonts. To improve externals though it is trifling, a large contribution is done.
So then there's this for the side panels. I probably wouldn't use 3/4" SpectraPly in the future. A pedal would be fine with 1/2" stock, but this is what I had.
Yowza, Cletus! I think we done struck gold!
Replacing the 2.2 uF Input Capacitor with a .68 uF (same as the Cathode Bypass cap on a Super Lead) done turned the big, farty fuzz into a mean, cutting overdrive. You know, that should probably be switchable.
The .68 uF input cap is nice, but I didn't think about the input impedance of this circuit being directly related to the input cap. The Fuzz Face input impedance, depending on the position of the Fuzz control, is normally between 5200 and 8400 ohms. It already loads the signal coming out of the guitar. That's why it doesn't play well with humbuckers.
It's doing some strange fizzy, warbly stuff.
