ELECTRA: Modular Powered Circuits - MPC2 Dynamic Fuzz

Continuing with the Electra guitar effects - the MPC2 Dynamic Fuzz.  What's unusual about this one is that the pot acts as a clean blend - one side from the input buffer, the other from the fuzz.  Given that this is a cartridge that is inserted into the back of a guitar, the pot is permanently mounted on the front of the guitar next to the usual volume, tone and switching (which is rather complicated).

Apart from that it's not super interesting, although I am keen to get it on the breadboard as it looks ripe for mods.   

It's basically a buffer, boost, then something similar to an Electra Distortion at the end.  It's not a massive boost, in part I think it's probably there to make sure the output is in phase with the clean signal at the blend pot.
