I'm happy it works too! was feeling like a massive idiot for jumping into the deep end when it didn't work at first. I just want to ask though, I've never encountered an effect with sag and bias controls so I'm not sure if mine work entirely as intended or if that's just what they're supposed to do. they're both very sensitive and can cut the signal if turned too far - are they supposed to do that? I can def get usable sounds by changing positions of those two in relation to each other but seeing as I've never had a wolf computer before I dunno if it's just "meant" to cut the signal sometimes. punch seems to act as sort of a finer fuzz control, things get more intense when it's up all the way so I think that definitely does what it's supposed to. bass control makes sense in relation to tone - this is actually what drew me to your circuit in the first place cause I like using pedals with my synth for bass sounds. I don't mind that it's wired opposite, I got a Rat which does the same on its tone control - just wanted to note that particular quirk in case it wasn't intended.
pretty interested in an 11 knob fuzz, I bet it would be really great for sound design. will keep an eye out!
I think you have discovered something important here. I am looking at the schematic and I see that the collector of Q2 can reach all the way to +9.5v while the emitter of Q2 is all the way down to 0v. when this happens it is impossible for audio to pass through Q2 gain stage. there must be a 10K or 33K resistor there in series with the bias control. however you really don't need a 10K resistor there if you turn the sag control all the way up to 10K. since the pedal was already traced by two people using real retail samples then I have to think that this flaw is from the original wolf computer. I could fix it but you would lose the option to dial in lots of sag with hot bias. in this case we can keep it accurate to the design without trying to fix it. I mean you could but I would just not call it a wolf computer. IDK probably leave it as is. the sag control can be 5K if you find that it starts muting at 5K anyway. if you like it at 10k but it is hard to dial in, you can add the fine control. I expect it to need a fine control. this is normal. when you reduce power supply current to almost nothing you will have undesirable results at the extreme.
