Here’s another one of Tim Escobedo’s great “circuit snippets” – the Tytewadd Fuzz. As you can see it’s reminiscent of his Syrupp Booster:
Using that top jfet as a simple current regulator bangs up the gain in the circuit and allows this single transistor gain stage to create some epically big fuzz tones. I had a play with this the other day and really enjoyed it’s tone and simplicity – I would certainly recommend this build for anyone who enjoys Big Muff-ish tones.
