Original Info:
“CC Hybrid is one of the first pedals to use one germanium and one silicon transistor in the classic Fuzz Face circuit.
CC
Hybrid is a stand-alone pedal that contains the same Silicon/Germanium
fuzz face circuit as the original Captain Coconut and Captain Coconut2.
To my knowledge, it’s the first example of a commercially available
pedal to use one germanium and one silicon transistor in the classic
Fuzz Face circuit. It combines the warm, dark organic tone of germanium
with the clarity and sustain of silicon. CC Hybrid gives you the best of
both..

Volume – Set the volume you like, compensate for level changes when adjusting the Grit and Fuzz controls.
Fuzz – Controls the amount of gain in the circuit. Typical setting is all the way up, or backed off a little.
Grit
– controls bias voltage to the transistors. This lets you go from
smooth to choppy and everything in between. Typical setting is 11:00.
Past the 2:00 setting the sound takes on a restricted, gated quality.
The extreme range of the Grit control is effected by the voltage coming
into the pedal. Above 9Volts, grit stays smooth at the max setting.
Below 9Volts, grit can sound choppy at gated as low as the 1:00 setting.
If you notice this – don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with the pedal!
Just set it for the sound you like.

Input trim
– There’s a trimmer inside for backing the input level down a little.
Just like having your guitar volume turned down. It’s preset all the way
up.“

There are 3 layouts: one with the original trimmer, one with a fixed resistor in its place and one for NPN transistors (not the Foxrox version).
Schematic available here.
