they sound pretty damn close eh!

[joegagan]

they both sound great.
great job on the build.

chuck ronge, one of the biggest vex spamcan experts in the universe claims there is a world of difference between a spam can and a regular fuzz factory. i personally think that a regular fuzzfactory with really good transistors ( which they usually have due to z vex' stringent standards for his Ge suppliers) would probably sound as good.

the problem is , you turn one knob one hundredth of a turn and everything changes. i think you would have to spend 4 hours straight tweaking knobs with two fuzzfactories side by side to just begin to be able to say one was better than the other. and even then, if the batt voltage was .02v different between the two, then what?

that myrold case looks good! cheers!
