Summary

Description

And that's all you need to build a distortion pedal.

In this case, this original Arbiter Fuzz Face reissue sounded like ass (apparently like all of the reissues). I swapped the transistors (that had hFE of 30 to 40) to higher gain AC128s and restored the resistor values to stock values. That did the trick.
