Red Spit Fuzz

Red Spit! This is basically a Way Huge clone of the Red Llama, or a 70s Craig Anderton Tube Sound Fuzz... It all depends on how you look at it. The Red Llama is really just a tweaked Tube Sound Fuzz. Oh, well... So, mine is somewhere in between those two. I didn`t have all the exact part values so I used what I had. Sounds good! The 4049 hex inverter IC is really what makes this circuit. Old school dirt! Fuzzy and thick with humbuckers, and nice clear overdrive with single coils.

It`s too cold outside to paint yet so this one is done with a brush and hammered paint. Clear sticker printed on my inkjet. Nothing fancy, but it works!
