Hoof Fuzz

This is a great BMP version by Earthquaker Devices with germanium transistors for Q2 and Q3. I really like the mid shift control in the tone section, it adds flexibility and a lot of new sounds.




I used the schematic at bigmuffpage.com to draw my layout. I found info about the germaniums used in different versions in ilovefuzz.com forum:
v1 / rev4 board 2n1302
v1 / rev4 board CV7351 / 2N1308
v2 custom rev5 , 2N1308
v2 / rev5, 2n1308
The consensus being that 2N1308 its the best choice. I used 2N1308 537A I found on ebay. For the clipping leds I used 3mm red as the forward voltage should be the as the 5mm ones for the same color.
