Fuzz Face/Square Face 2n404 Germanium Drop In Circuit: Two old school 2N404 germanium transistors (big top hat case) give this unit an awesome full out fuzz tone, but when the guitar is dialed back the SRV glassy tones are there. This circuit sounds a lot like my Diaz Texas Square Face since the 2N404 spec is a PNP equivalent to the NTE103 transistors used in that pedal. Very nice. Biased at 4.5V, so its smooth with some serious rip. A carbon comp trimmer has been added on the PCB to adjust the Q2 bias as needed. Pedal cleans-up extremely well when you roll back your guitar volume, it's got that SRV chime. Its a wall of fuzz when everything is wideopen.
Transistors are a gain selected pair of 2n404 Germanium. All new components : Alpha pots; 500k for Volume and 1k for Fuzz, Reproduction vintage PCB, new switch and jacks. New old stock carbon composition resistors too!
A trim pot is installed on the board to tweak the Q2 bias, which is currently set at the standard 4.5v, but dial it up if you want a cleaner fuzz.
The in/out jacks are wired sideway to avoid grounding out to the enclosure or base plate if you are mounting the circuit in Dunlop JDF2 cases (The Red FF's). Those cases do not allow for much clearance, so be mindful that. The Hendrix cases are no problem.
Pot, Switch and Jacks all have complete mounting hardware.
