"... Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxx / Astro Astrotone Fuzz built on our wide spacing 2x8 pseudo eyelet board. The case is a hand-painted sloped YY enclosure, and the knobs are our newly-added P-K402 knobs, which are in the same style as the originals. There's a Lumberg power jack as well as a battery-power option which can be disconnected via the side rocker switch (P-H518). There were multiple transistor types used in the originals. This build uses silicon Fairchild TO-5s with a similar hfe range and the B-E junction of two TO-5 transistors for the clipping diodes. The insulation used on many of the leads is NOS, but it's very similar to our white old-style spaghetti sleeving, S-M436W. The last two photos are layouts for different build options. The first one, the "Tone Fix" option, adds an extra capacitor not found in the originals in order to squeeze a little more functionality out of the tone control, which is otherwise somewhat lackluster. The last photo is the original Fuzzz Boxx circuit. There is an added 100uF power supply stabilization cap in both layouts. Note that I used 9mm pots here to give the knobs wider spacing. Their 5mm bushings do not make it all the way through the thick walls of the YY enclosure, so they were epoxied in. 16mm Alpha pots have slightly longer bushing where that may not be a problem, but the knobs would have to be a little closer together."
