ANTHOLOGY
The Anthology Fuzz is 6 of the most coveted
fuzzes ever in one single pedal. It uses 4 Nos
germanium transistors and 4 silicon transistors.
This isn't digital modelling. This is pure analogue
bliss.
Ge Face: An exact clone of the most famous fuzz
pedal ever, The Fuzz Face, with 2 NOS Mullard
OC75 germanium transistors. (the tone knob is not
engaged here in order to preserve tonal accuracy)
Click
Si Face: Uses the same circuit as the Ge Face,
but switches out the germanium transistors for
silicon and rebiases the circuit. The tone knob still
is not engaged.

Brit 2: This is an exact clone of the SolaSound
ToneBender MKII (2 Knob Tonebender).  The MKII
circuit was 100% identical to the original FuzzFace,
but SolaSound added an extra transistor stage to
the beginning of the circuit.  The Brit 2 circuit
switches the first 2 transistors back to germanium
and engages an extra germanium transistor stage
in front of the Face circuit.  


Brit 3: This is based on the Colorsound
ToneBender MKIII (3 Knob Tonebender). It
switches back to germanium transistors and adds
a 3rd stage with another germanium transistor and
additional circuitry and also engages the tone
knob.

SupaBrit: Based on the Colorsound
SupaTonebender.  It switches all 3 of the
transistors to Silicon and kicks in a diode clipping
stage.

USA: Can't forget the Big Muff. Little known fact,
but the BMP is a straight up clone of the Supa
Tonebender with a 4th transistor stage at the end.
So can you guess what happens when you turn
the switch to "USA"? A 4th stage is engaged with
another silicon transistor and additional circuitry.
