I saw this video and was amazed at how few parts there are in this thing. It's clearly a germanium fuzz-thing but I was wondering if you guys had any insight. Cheers

Lemme see if Tim is still up. He's usually more than happy to discuss his pedals.

negative, we live in different parts of Aust.

a layout will be difficult seeing as its point to point, but its just a simple thing i whipped up lovepedal style using the electra distortion schematic. Used some pretty rare diodes, a BC108 transistor, old russian input cap and the toggle is a 10nF on the output to ground.

hows that? :)
