Fuzz War II

Based on the classic Big Muff circuit, but with the addition of germanium diodes for aggressive clipping and a more radical tone control, this is the second version of the infamous pedal from Death By Audio.

While the first version has 7 transistors and it is much harder to assemble, this one has 4 transistors and three knobs (fuzz, volume and tone), and it can create a multitude of ultimate fuzz, boost, overdrive, and distortion sounds.

I build this unit following this veroboard layout.
