Dunwich Amplification Ye Great Olde One – Fuzz section
Traced by evilarsen. This was a small run of a custom pedals for Slomatics. It was essentially a dual pedal with a fuzz circuit and a modulation circuit. This layout is for the fuzz section only.

The germanium John Hornby Skewes Zonk II is similar to a Fuzz Face but without the 100k feedback resistor, and note that the output cap is taken … Read more
