Devi Ever Krackle Fuzz - Most Simple Fuzz Ever???

So Devi posted some really old schematics on her site today including the old Krackle Fuzz.
Here's the posted schematic....
Eh, does this even work????? It must be the most simple fuzz ever made if it does! Anyone got parts lying around to give it a shot?

i think she has said it lacks something when used on its own but its a great thing to push another fuzz with

you can just put a 2m resistor instead. thats one less part. I think you would need a cap on the input and the output. without the cap, its just relying on the next pedal in chain to block dc.

ummm. can you redraw it with a conventional transistor symbol?

if it doesn't work, flip it around

How the fuck does this even work?

Yet another busted-sounding fuzz "circuit" ??

you could fit that fuzz circuit inside a knob, wait no, a cable

I wonder if putting it after a simple boost would do anything? Could be a cool little additional footswitchable option on a pedal if it sounds decent.

I would go the other way and put it first. passive guitar shouldn't be a problem plugging right in with no input cap. then put the LPB after it. you got the input cap of the lpb to block DC and you still have a output cap on the LPB so it plays nice with other pedals. its not a 4 terminal transistor. its 3. the left side of your schematic is all connected at the E or C. not sure if its EBC or CBE till I actually try it.

That so doesn't look like the "schematic" posted by the OP here.
Also, I don't understand why she used that 2N2222 there. Unless I'm totally reading it wrong, it's set up as a reverse-biased diode in series with the input signal (which will prevent hard saturation of the following transistor). That's all fine and dandy. But a cheap silicon diode would've done the same thing, while costing less and taking up less space.
That series diode sort of reminds me of this:
