Frantone The SweetVerified

From the post

Although this isn't your usual muff clone, you can certainly tell where the inspiration came from. This pre-dates the EQD Hoof, but like that pedal this uses NPN germanium transistors for Q2 and Q3 but with schottky diodes here instead of LEDs. I can't find any information at all about the FS25444 838 Q4 transistor, but it is definitely NPN bipolar, and looking at a gut shot on the Frantone web site it's an old style TO106 style case like the 2N5133 that are much sought after for Big Muffs, or the ME4003 that I know a few people on here use. Anyway just try anything for that and let us know your results.

Info about the great sounding original:

Truly insane fuzztone! Over the top in every way using the classic tone of germanium transistors. This is the longest sustaining and smoothest sounding all-transistor fuzztone you will ever own. I have designed many fuzztones, including the 2000 New York City Big Muff for Electro-Harmonix, so believe me when I say that this is the most extreme one I have ever made. It's tone is indescribable. The full bottom and crisp highs will astound you, and the endless sustain will make you cry like a baby. But don't take my word for it.. try one for yourself!
