Tidied up my old organ... mostly so I could have a place to plunk down the Concertmate-500. This setup is ZOIA front and centre as I keep playing around with it.
just got one of these Mooer D7s....was only $60! really digging it so far

FZ-3 is basically a fuzzFace, yeah?

I'd never run into the idea that it was a FF. Looked at the schematic and there does indeed look to be a FF-based core in there, but there's more going on, including a couple of post-buffer gain stages in front of the FF-ish block and a BMP-ish tone control after (which if I bothered to look might more resemble the DS-1 version of the circuit). Someone who actually understands electronics rather than studies existing fuzz schematics may have a better idea--all I know is that I'm not seeing Tonebender or BMP family resemblance in those early stages. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopi ... 4&start=20
