Re: Just slapped together an octave-down fuzz circuit (clip!
So I did actually board this up, but I had issues. Grabbed it again last night...The switch does nothing, and the mix knob works more like a conjoined vol/tone with no octave. Used 2n4401 instead of the 5089s cause I didn't have any. The pedal works as a heavy bass friendly fuzz, but nothing else. I'll keep messing with it. Maybe the gain isn't high enough with the 4401s? most were around 200 hfe.

Sorry about that. You wanna be a beta tester of the first prototype run?

Means you get a go at the first run of boards, that should be fine, but aren't finalized.
