Yeah, I saw that one but it's the first version with fifty percent less gain than the three knob version two. Thanks for the look out though.

Dano Cool Cat fuzz.

You know, that thing in the weird orange metal casing. I think someone has one in BST right now even.

I have one actually that I bought years ago on a whim and it just doesn't have the quality that I'm looking for. I have the Frantone Sweet which is germanium and it sounds good it just doesn't have the tightness that the op amped Peach Fuzz has.

I bet if you got your hands on a schematic, you could get someone to build you one.

The schematic is out there. Any suggestions for any builders?

You could post a thread in DIY asking if anyone is willing to build it. (Also, check the Shark Tank too.)

Skullservant is the man and is building me an FY-2/FZ-1 dual fuzz with the ability to blend the two circuits. I'm sure if he had the supplies and schematic, he could clone it for you.
