Fuzz Face weak/crackly
Hello every1. I posted on here a while ago about a fuzzface pedal I had that was weak sounding.  
 
Advice I received was to change the caps. I have had somebody do this for me now. It has improved the sound slightly - it sounds clearer. The sustain is much nicer.  
 
The pedal still lacks power compared to a Big Muff and it sounds murky & flat unless I run that Boss pedal into it. The Boss (which sounds shit on it's own) seems to liven the Fuzzface up nicely with a screamier sound.  
 
If I connect the Fuzzface after the boss and leave the boss turned off I still get a sound which goes completely flat after 1 second of playing chords.  
 
Maybe there is nothing wrong with my pedal now & this is what they are supposed to be like? I read in numerous places where people said they have to use their fuzzface in combination with amp distortion to get what they wanted.
