This is the BYOC version of the Maestro MFZ-1 Fuzz, the Lil' Black Keys. Named as such, as there are a few references to the Black Keys using the Maestro at some stage.
It's an easy build, and it sounds pretty good too. There are fairly minimal differences circuit-wise, between the original and the Lil' Black Keys. A couple of cap values and the Lil' Black Keys has 2 x diodes in series for hard clipping instead of one in each direction (less compression / more output). You could probably try some LEDs instead for a similar sound.
I used to have an old Guild Starfire III - put this in front of it with a bit of reverb, and it sounds like the Black Keys.
