4 from 5 Great Fuzz

It sounds great! Much better than I expected...
Instructions should be more detailed for electronic newbies like myself.
It was a struggle to fit everything in the stompbox without stepping components on each other.
I got one component that doesnt exist on any of the documents... Anyway I didnt used it and the pedal works just fine.

4 from 5 Good Fuzz Face-clone

This is good sounding Fuzz Face -clone, almost better than most boutique fuzzes. However, the stock transistors can be too shrill sounding...So get a pair of different transistors (bc108s for example) and you are good to go. Building was easy, and it definately can sound like other Hendrix-era fuzz-pedals.

4 from 5 Excellent fuzz, but some hiss

This fuzz sounds really great. I tried some fuzz pedals before this, even the original fuzz, and I like this one more than the others i tried. However, there is constant high-pitched noise that increases with the fuzz level or when I turn guitar volume all the way down. I tried to add the extra capacitor (100 pf) across the base and collector of transistors Q1 and Q2 and the noise decreased in different ways, but only slightly in both cases. So Im going to buy some more caps to try to make it decrease even more.
