marrk	Re: EH Small Stone & CS Tonebender problems Arnaud, I am glad to hear that it is working for you. I am a newbie with regard to the theoretical stuff. Perhaps some of the other folks here can help you out with that. I think you are right about Q3's function here, and perhaps it doesn't need to be biased when used in this manner. Both the base and collector are connected to the battery via small resistors. The fuzz pot is varying not only signal, but voltage as well. Leakage is probably a factor here also. I am trying to play more, and solder less these days. It is hard to resist the temptation to experiment. Enjoy your fuzz
