I'm doing this basic "Radioshack Fuzz" http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforu...topic=65426.40 (it's down a little bit.

Basically I'm using the subs that "Cardboard Tube Samurai" mentioned a few posts after the schematic. Basically, after searching I became convinced 120K resistors don't exist. I got some extra parts/doubles so I can tweak stuff and also make something for a friend. Hopefully, I'll end up with something that sounds half decent, plus fuzz is a sound I'm completely missing from my arsenal.

Judging by this soundclip from one of the projects that was only using RadioShack parts, it could end up sounding really good.

All in all it's a fairly cheap project, and hopefully it'll pan out well. I'm doing it with help from a friend who knows a lot more about electronics so, that should help.
