The early versions had an internal trim pot, but later on they decided that the tones were dialed in and removed it. I bet if you had to order one they could hook you up

Ah cool. Good to know. Will crack mine open and have a look-see. Thanks man!

I DIYed an Acetone Fuzzmaster a couple of months ago. The circuit is a cool Superfuzz variant. I like it way better than the Superfuzz I was building.

I omitted the midscoop filter on the end and put 2 sets of diodes on a switch. Used some NOS germanium diodes and some super fat rectifier diodes from a surplus shop. The germaniums sound great but the fat rectifier diodes make the germaniums sound like shit. The sound is thick and massive with lots of octave up. I was playing some power cords through my shitty Crate practice amp and my friend said it sounded like Dopesmoker!

I may build a batch in the future.

I still prefer the Fender Blender... Obviously, the original and not the crappy reissue. Insane bottom end, great volume output, upper octave that screams like a bunch of drunken cats... And a terrific boost mode.

velcroar into TAFM.
Actually into TAFM or Dark Boost or mxr Blowtorch Im getting some crazy mean sub octave shit.

Anyone care to weigh in on the Foxx Tone Machine in this game?

It' a weird pedal, with a special octave effect and a thick and juicy fuzz. But I don't like the lack of low frequencies (btw, I've only owned the reissue).

i dig the FTM! i've built a few for some peeps and it really delivers. my old bandmate used one on a rickenbacker guitar and it sounded pretty huge. really nice feedback, too...

also i tried tafm > tafm > tafm last night and there was some really sweet octave-ing going on, albeit noisy as shit - in a good way.

Damn Brian!

I love the FTM! it's got major low end, IMO. An the octave is just nuts. Get a clone made to really great specifications, and you'll be set.

Rhythm and Detonation(Mike) makes an awesome FTM clone.
