Haha I'd rather be remembered as a guitar player than a guy with lots of Fuzzrite photos. I'm happy to share. When I got into Fuzzrites about 10 years ago there was virtually no info about 'em anywhere. As I said on the first page of this thread, the schematics I've seen online haven't been accurate, either. I hope the circuit board shots are helpful to anyone building a repro Fuzzrite.

Not all...but most of the older fuzzes are sensitive to what is powering them. In some pedals you'll hear a noticeable difference between carbon and alkaline batteries. In others, no difference whatsoever. I haven't noticed any noise issues with the Ashbass, and I've used it with a battery and with an adapter. It is pretty consistent, and not noisy at all (for a fuzz). The adapter you use may have some effect on the sound/noise. Most pedals require 200ma to 300ma from the power supply. I daisy-chain two pedals with a single 600ma power supply, haven't had any noise issues yet.
The Sanner, on the other hand, is quite temperamental and often picks up the radio (this only happens with the guitar volume turned down).
