This is a clone of the old Univox Super Fuzz circuit. I used the JMK Super Duper Fuzz PCB, which seems to be the most accurate commercial PCB currently available.

I've built a fair number of Super Fuzz clones and this is where I am right now. In the past I've used BC549B and BC549C transistors. I've also used 2N5088 transistors before. All with an hFE over 350 or so. Because I thought that was where the original transistors lived.

Because the originals used 2SC828 transistors. What I didn't realize until recently is that there were several versions of those transistors. The original Super Fuzz used Matsushita 2SC828-Q transistors. Those had a range from 130 - 280 hFE, but most of them were apparently around 180 hFE. I was seeing a lot of the more recent 2SC828-R (hFE 180 - 360) and 2SC828-S (hFE 260 - 520) transistors and thought the old pedals had a lot more gain under the hood.

So this pedal uses 2SC2655-Y transistors with an hFE of about 180 each. I matched Q4 and Q5 for a more pronounced octave effect. I think it's as close as I've come so far to the original Super Fuzz sound.

I also use the original germanium OA-90 diodes and German WIMA box capacitors.

The last piece of this puzzle is a steel enclosure very similar to the original enclosure. I powder coat them myself for durability. It's tough to drill these steel beasts, but they come out just as heavy and indestructible as the originals.

So that's the recipe.
