There's a massive thread of modded circuits at Free Stomp Boxes by Dylan159 - this one is a Bazz Fuss / Fuzz Face hybrid, suitably called the Bazz Face.
There's plenty more in the thread, including schematics and sound demos.

BAZZ FACE ON THE SCOPE / FFT
caution - start with low levels.
440hz sine wave, probe on the output. This is with germanium transistors, which looks very much like the silicon ones I tested first. I changed to a larger fuzz pot for a bit more range.

did u breadboard it?
this is a fairly simple circuit - cant get any sound out of it
Hi Eike - no i have not breadboarded this one yet. I'll have to try it later ;-)
thx in advance Andy
It's on the breadboard. It really pumps out some level - unless there's an issue with the diode, in which case there will be none. Maybe check the diode.
thx for testing :-)
a row on my breadboard died - circuit is working as intended and sounds great
That would have been very frustrating.
Can it clean up with your volume knob? Been searching for a simple high gain Velcro fuzz that I can get crystal clear clean tones with too
I can’t recall if it cleaned up. It has been a few years.
If you want Velcro fuzz with cleanup , try a MK1.5. May not be easy as it can be fussy about transistors.
Cool thanks a lot :)
