That's pretty important - sounds much more like a vintage unit if you do that (more mids, a little smoother up top, and just generally better). Up to 22nF on the output cap still sounds good with the Tungsrams.
I don't think that Dave uses the 15nFs to compensate for anything. Many vintage units had 15nFs, his own Vox included. He likes that sound a lot!

on the base of Q1 I've got 10K, but the attack pot is connected to Q2 and it base has a 100k.
anyway I will make some probes.

Where did you get that hot enclosure?

With stock values and OC75s it usually ends up somewhere between 7.5 and 9V.
I can see an 8k2 resistor. If that's Q3's collector resistor things should be alright.
With that board you probably followed a later Supa Fuzz schematic. It's pretty much identical to the Sola Sound made version except for the 10µF electrolytics.

they used to sale them on pedalenclousure.com, but the webpage doesn't work.

yeap I followed a supafuzz schematic with the smalbear changes.

Cheers. So they are basically unavailable as of now! Shame, shame, shameee.

I don't think Hendrix ever used a Fuzz Face - If he did, I don't think he liked it from what I have heard from folks supposedly in the know - forget the other benders - build a MkII - you won't be sorry you did.

There it is... Marshall Super Fuzz justification to add to my pedal collection.
I am wondering if Jimi actually used that pedal on any recordings...

Where did you get that PCB kit from? I was thinking about using a layout from Sinner but I like PCBs if I can get them
