Got a good one for you today. Below is a 1969 article from “Science and Electronics” magazine (auth. Herb Friedman) that describes an incredibly simple way to add an adjustable, defeat-able silicon-fuzz circuit to any tube guitar amp. I haven’t tried this yet but i am def excited to. If anyone builds this out, please comment and let us know the results.

The procedure seems kind of hard, fortunately now we can just buy an effects pedal
A fascinating read. Chance being what it is, recently exposed me to a very similar article. My father-in-law just recently passed away and as a family we were going through a box of photos and that box was a snippet just like the one on page 68, and the photo on page 70 might as well have been one from his workshop. We are a products of our time.
