Your DYI sounds MUCH better to my ears as well. I’m no expert but I could assume your transistors are better biased than the FF’s (or at least biased in a way that sounds better to my taste). Maybe the bias is what’s makes the FF sounds more “spitty”.
Yeh - it may well be the bias that is causing the greatest difference! My DIY pedal seems to respond better to the guitar and is less unruly than the FF. The tone of the DIY sounds and feels more ‘vintage’ to me … but it may well be my mind playing tricks simply because I know it has NOS transistors! 😂💁🏻♂️

Great comparison and video
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi! Great review. Fuzz Face makes more pure fluffy "fuzz" sound, DIY - a mixture of more nuanced fuzz/OD, it sounds better to my ears too.
Thanks! Yeh - I do wonder if I just don’t actually like the ‘Fuzz Face’ type of fuzz and actually the DIY pedal is more of a distortion than fuzz! 😂
