Request - here you go & I hope this is what you were after. Could shave off a column or two if that's a bother.
The Fortin is a pretty stock silicon fuzz face with an input blend, a 10k trimmer in place of the usual 8k2 resistor and a 100n cap on the output. A few smallish caps on the collector and base of transistors to tame the fizz. It's not unlike the D*A*M Drag n Fly DF-05 and no doubt a few other fuzz faces with an input blend.

Thank you very much Andrew, I didn't realise how useless the sweep was on the Fuzz control - might benefit from a different taper pot
Hvae you already made it? That's normal on a fuzz face. Reverse log is often used as a replacement.
Not made it yet, I had only heard demos of it. That video you linked was the first I had seen where he actually showed what the controls did, will definitely throw a C pot in.
Got it - and I guess you could always replace the 1k pot with a fixed resistor and make the 10k trimmer an external pot. Easy enough to experiment with
Thank you for the layout, just finished it. I changed the fuzz pot for a 1k reverse log and the sweep is much better. Really like it, to be boxed.
Great - should be able to use this layout for quite a few variations of fuzz face. But you probbaly won't need another now. ;-)
