DISCO BUSH - FUZZ

In designing the circuit, I was looking for that classic 'Tone Bender MKII-meets-Fuzzface' flavor, yet wanted the ability to go over the top, like some of the more modern fuzz designs that approach muffy, synthy sort of bliss. That's a whole lot to ask of one pedal, and one circuit. But if I was going to put my name on it, I wanted it to be able to do heavy-synth sounds, classic vintage fuzz sounds, gated-farty sounds, and even heavy overdrive tones...oh...and I wanted it to have excellent interplay with the guitar's volume control. LOL! All that..in one box of joy. No problem, right? WRONG! It left me stumped for years, as I experimented with classic circuits and taste-tested tons of Germanium and Silicon transistors and other seasoning variables, but I always ended up puzzled and defeated in my quest.
