Here’s a DIY Classic, tweak the diodes, tweak the input and output caps, tweak everything. It’s a super simple build and it creates some great tones.
Here’s another version from Homewrecker.com:
with an interesting diode comparison chart:
|
diode(s)
|
measured voltage
|
notes
|
|---|---|---|
| 1N34A | .220v | decent, but output is too low |
| 1N914 | .570v | stock version, great fuzz |
| 1N34A, 1N914 | .780v | a bit more defined, a bit louder |
| (2) 1N34A, 1N914 | 1.0v | almost a hybrid fuzz/distortion |
| orange LED | 1.8v | a hybrid distortion/overdrive |
