Anyone tried one yet? Taken a peek under the hood? I'm guessing it's a stripped down Mastotron or Wooly Mammoth. The demos sound good, and I like the idea of having only two knobs - less for me to fiddle around with, more time spent playing, etc. And it fits in a smaller enclosure.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is it:

Ha, you're probably right. Either way, that'll probably get me close enough. Thanks for posting, ~arph!

I took the route of adding the pinch control to a DAM Meathead, lower parts count with similar results.

any fuzz face circuit would do by replacing the fuzz pot with a 1K resistor and adding a 500K pot as a variable resistor in series with the 100K negative feedback resistor(120K in the case of the meathead).

Thanks but this has been available for decades.
Good to have a schematic to refer to though.
