BE: Fuzz Face with external bias control

I'm jotting down some notes for myself, because I don't expect anyone else to use this layout.  It's a little impractical in parts, but I had some spare board this size, and a pair of transistors that I liked on the breadboard that needed a home.  It's a progression on this somewhat more practical layout.   

If you're wondering what the BE part is about...  

BE FUZZ FACE V3 - EXTERNAL BIAS


Notes:  all links under the board.  Maybe reduce the 10k bias pot a little with a parallel resistor.  Cleans up well, solid fuzz.  Breadboard values: 1k / 6k8, maybe 5k6 at around 30 degrees.  10uf bypass cap, battery 8.5v
