    Cool stuff man! I am also building and modifying vintage fuzz circuits, with the Harmonic percolator being one of my favorite, mainly because it is such a mad scientist project design that defies typical circuits of the kind. I also have been working with the classic British circuits for the authenticity they have. Glad you are keeping the original ones in great working order!👍🤙🖖

    Fuzz is a tricky pedal but I really think post 60s g players can’t get it I mean some garage bands did get it but the players of 1966 1969 were the masters they just played different not riffy I think the post baby boom post silent players just play different some of the neo 80s bands like plastic land get it but for that blue cheer heavy psych sound it belongs on rare albums like plastic. Cloud or maze apoc times for apoc sounds but you got it more then most and besides my lead g player and we used it in the clean 80s

    Awesome video. After building fuzz pedals for several years I have found they are easy to make and can do overdrive to fuzz with just one transistor and four or five components. Now it's more cost to build a new circuit and house it when new pedals cost 15$.

      I know it's getting harder and harder to find genuine 60's germanium transistors but builders like yourself can get the best out of more common trannies, especially the circuits surrounding them that you build, your pedals are right up there with Stu Castledine and David Main.
