Love the sound of a Germanium Fuzz but not the flabby low end? Here is a Rousetech Fuzz with piggybacked silicon transistors designed to emulate the sound of germanium, but a little tighter.

Dark and smooth with great clean up from the volume pot of the guitar. The fuzz is on full for this entire clip, the guitars volume is adjusted up and down to show the tonal range of the pedal.

I set my collector voltages on Germanium Fuzz pedals at around 5.5 volts to squeeze a little more gain out the circuit. I discovered that the voltage drops when the guitar signal passes through and the harmonics change when the note decays and the voltage returns to normal. Interesting.
