Berkos FX Germanium Experience Fuzz

Hey Guys,

Can somebody please do a schematic of this super expensive (800$ ++) and rare (only 20) fuzz pedal?
Here is a gut shot :



This batch of NKT275 germanium transistors is now extinct. I searched planet Earth for over five years for the real "Holy Grail" NKT275 germanium transistors from the 1960's. In spite of all of the fake, re-stamped NKT275's out there, I finally found a very small batch of the real NKT275 germanium transistors that were within the usable Fuzz hfe gain range window. There are only a small number of pedals made.

Infos :


The "Holy Grail" NKT275 germanium transistors NOS from the 1960's
Transistors are tested for leakage, gain selected, and matched
High-end capacitors and carbon composition resistors True bypass
Premium, plated though the hole, hard mounted PCB


Controls:

Fire = Gain    Adjusts the level from soft subtle fuzz tone to amazing deep organic fuzz tones.

Haze = Tone     Controls the amount of bass attenuation. Counterclockwise position will decrease the bass allowing for more mid-range and a tighter bottom.

Volume    The volume knob functions as the master on/off for the fuzz circuit battery so you do not have to unplug the input jack when not in use. Note: Some of the earlier GE pedals did not have the on/off switch.

Thanks

Sha

Looks like a normal fuzz face with an input cap blend. Why two batteries?
