Tim	Re: Fuzz Face weak/crackly Hello all. Thanks for your continued interest in my lovely pedal. I cant believe the capacitors are faulty: as I have had all of them replaced and it still sounds much the same. Perhaps something in my Boss pedal is causing the loss of power after 1 second: as I said it only happens when that pedal is connected but switched off. I think it might be causing similar probs with my Big Muff too, but not sure about that - need to try it again. I dont have a multimeter or anything like that. All I could do is take it back to my fixer dude. He is of the opinion that there's no point changing resistors to different sizes if all u want is to get the original fuzzface sound. If I take it back to him he'll probly just change the Transistors and/or replace the resistors with identical ones. The extra cap: according to David Morin (can't remember his address but he had a v cool Fuzzface page) all late 80s Crest Audio fuzzfaces were wired up as mine is. I do not have a circuit diagram for this though. -- See! Cute Fluffy Bunny Rabbits! http://www.semilanceata.freeserve.co.uk Tim
