How does a Fuzz Face work?
The fuzz face works by inputting signal through a DC blocking resistor driving a transistor one, transistor two is directly coupled with transistor one. ... The final non-‐ polar capacitor blocks the Fuzz Face from saturating any device that follows it, also it determines the lowest frequencies that are let through.
