Bass Fuzz Face


Just finished this for Neil from Windscale.   It's a Bass Fuzz Face featuring AC-128 germanium transistors, all the Jimi Hendrix/Roger Mayer modifications to the original Fuzz Face circuit, and input/output capacitor mods for extra bass.  I have also added a switch that takes the 'fizz' from the top end making the sound even more 'bassy'.  Sound sample coming soon.

Might I ask what value capacitors you chose to use for the input and output caps?

hello,
what is the initial input and output cap value ?
And can you show me how to add the switch and what is principle behind it??

Yhanks

input = 4.7uf, output = 0.047uf. As to the switch it cuts the top end fizz when the fuzz is on full and its a capacitor between 2 of the 2nd transistor legs.
