yeah your 1M pot is going to have some effect on that if you would have put a 500K pot in there as i had suggested :-P you would have had about a 1/4 less travel for max output and about 25% less output, but it is primarily due to the collector going directly to the coupling cap, normally in fuzz face style fuzz pedals there are 2 resistors on the collector side of Q2 with the output being tapped between them e.g. moving the output to the other side of the 10K resistor, and adding a < 1K resistor between the coupling cap and the 9V supply. but congradulations :-D fuzz pedals are fun, out of curiiosity what was the exact model number on the case of the transistor you used, and post an MP3 :-P i wanna hear hehe
