I've been too chickenshit to build anything without a pre-made PCB, but these builds look dead simple, easy enough for even me. Thanks for posting!

bubstance told me this in another thread:bubstance wrote:if you remove the 2.2M in parallel with the input cap, add a 680R resistor to ground off the emitter of the MPSA18 and add some clipping diodes to ground after the second cap you've got an Electra distortion (which I'm sure was the starting point). Better yet, swap the 3.3M resistor for a diode and you've basically got a Bazz Fuss.
or you've got a common collector amplifier.
or an electra distortion is a common collector amplifier feeding clipping diodes.
or you've got a simple transistor amplifier.
