MOARRRR FUZZ!! :o)
Here is the Sam Ash Fuzztainer. It is slightly modded from the original, the transistors suggested are more modern 2N5088 instead of the original 2N5172, power filtering and polarity protection has been added, the bias trimmer has been taken external because of the different tones this will give you, and the output resistor was reduced from 68K to 1K.
These mods were suggested by Jon Patton (midwayfair on our usual forums) and here is his vid of what to me is a great sounding pedal:
