Very nice fuzz indeed IMO! Excellent bass response, good sustain, but when fuzz is maxed out and you zero the gtr vol it motorboats. Not very smooth, it souds like a good FF a tad out of bias, a lot of textures and swells going on, decay is a bit funny but not too much. Evil fuzz all the way compared to the AM sunface.

Trannies are ordinary black types in ECB layout, I would guess japanese types 2SB**** found on old univox stuff, and they are gooped, so is the ceramic cap to smooth out Q2, and there is another film greenie type from Q1's base to groung that I can't reach.
There is also a gooped diode hanging from the power line, i suppose it's a 9v zener or alike.
Millenium bypass omited.
