Thanks for the great looking layouts, Aelling and Anders!
I built Ander's and recorded a short clip. The volume is cranked and the input is going through the 1uf. The first half is into a clean amp and then into the crunch channel: https://soundcloud.com/user-562468024/alexs-foxx-select-a-fuzz-01-20190414

Thanks for giving it a go Alex. Just finished mine inluding the rotary switch and it a very heavy and gnarly fuzz at setting 4 and 5. More managable at setting 1 to 3 where the Fuzz control(which should be labelled Tone IMO) is more usable. I used three BC113 for the trannies, Hfe around 250 and a big black old soviet D220 silicon diode simply cause it was room for it on the board.
Will definitely box this!

Great layouts, guys. It occurred to me that I probably would use maybe two settings, in which case the rotary switch could be replaced by a DPDT switch (e.g. Tame - Nasty). Fuzz sounds great!

Yeah, I agree. From all the demo's people have posted, I might just make one with no switch and with whichever cap I like best.

Yeah or maybe an input cap blend pot would do?

Perhaps like a Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe Fat control, so when it's CCW you have the lowest cap and going CW you add the larger cap.

EDIT: Infact, I just made a layout for this, gonna try and make a board later today.

Finished this up last night and it's great. I really like how when set to lower settings an almost octave down appears on the note tail. I ended up with 2n2222 metal cans around 215hfe after some swaps. Gonna try a few more but I'm happy as is. Thanks to everyone involved, wanted one of these for a long time.
