A vero layout I made for the classic Mosrite Fuzzrite. The BC-108 transistors can be substituted for similar Silicon NPN transistors (the emitters are orientated towards the bottom of the board), for example I tried 2n3904s which sounded a bit harsher than the BC-108s. Will post a pic of one I have made later.

I just built this and it sounds pretty decent but the volume is insane! It won't turn down. Both knobs have some effect on the sound coming out of the pedal, but even when the volume knob is turned all the way down it's way louder than my amp (at any amp setting). I triple checked all my work- the transistors are orientated correctly, the pots are wired correctly, the pots are the correct value (well, the 470k was tough to find so I got a 500k but that shouldn't make the difference, should it?) Help?
Disregard my previous comment. It was my mistake. I have corrected it and this pedal works and sounds great! Very cool. Thanks.
nice one, i missed this so glad you got it working with no help haha! yeah its a nice sounding fuzz, send me a pic for the blog if you used my layout. cheers ian.
Yep, I'm a little late to the party but I just finished this circuit yesterday and it sounds super! I'm still deciding what enclosure to put it in... maybe recycle some object I have lying around.
Thanks for the layout!

no problem pete! do send some pics if you can!
very, very late to the party haha, but where about do you put the 1M resistor? and is it essential? ive started building off another fuzzrite schematic that doesnt have the 1M, and just wondering whether i need the extra resistor?
cheers
the 1m is a 'drop down' to reduce 'popping' when using a footswitch, might need it, might not.
