Based on the "triangle-knob" circa 1971 4-transistor fuzz, but I've changed the input capacitor to a more saturated-sounding type like the circa 1973 'rams head' version fuzz. From there, I've tightened up the bass and smoothed out the highs and eliminated the mid scoop. So instead of a raging wall of fuzz, you get a more focused and amp-like tone, without having to stack with eq's and/or other overdrive pedals to smooth things out or bring up the midrange.

No scooped midrange

The thick, soaring tone sounds great on all pickup positions and cuts through the densest mix.

The tone control is tuned to get useable sounds at all positions, with the middle setting having a flat eq curve. The "Flat/Juicy" switch lets you add in extra midrange thickness, giving you more options to tweak your sound. For example, you can get a cutting, yet thick tone at full clockwise with the switch in the "Juicy" position, and no ice-pick treble will assail your ears.

Noise

Your Pink Flesh will not be silent when you are not playing. These vintage transistors all hiss—all of them. I have already eliminated the noisy ones, but even the quietest ones, the only ones I accept, are not dead silent. So do not use your Pink Flesh into a high-gain amp unless you can live with noise when you are not playing (or turn off your Pink Flesh immediately before and after you use it). Into a clean amp, the noise level should not be objectionable and of course massively quieter at idle than when you're actually playing something. But avoid any gain stages after your Pink Flesh, including overdrives and clean boosts, as these will drastically increase the noise level
