The Bumble Buzz is based on the Kay Fuzztone, which is a simplified Univox Super Fuzz. It’s a collaboration between Union Tube & Transistor and Third Man Records (Jack White).
There are no knobs; just stomp and go. Raw octave fuzz….

ON THE BENCH
I should have cleaned up the edges a bit – but hey… it was a quick and dirty build.
ON THE SCOPE / FFT
440hz sine wave, approx 130mv TRMS
