From the post
Hello folks! Travis here and I'm very excited to join the tagboardeffects squad. Thanks to Mark and Miro for the opportunity, and thanks to Zach, Javi, and Alex for joining along as well. I'm sure we're gonna have a great time, so without further adieu, here's my first contribution to the main site!
As some of you may know, I was lucky enough to pick up an original germanium transistor equipped Mosrite Fuzzrite earlier this year. It has without a doubt been my favorite pedal I've ever owned, and I traced the circuit to share with you fine folks.
EDIT: There were some mistakes in my initial trace due to a couple hidden links and an oddity with one cap connection. I have updated the layout, and this is your standard Ge Fuzzrite with component values matching mine, and an added voltage inverter for easy daisy chaining
