No the fuzz master is similar to a superfuzz with the tone switch replaced as a pot. It's a circuit a lot of people used and just changed the name. The transmitter is kind of a dismantled and redesigned fuzz face with some very peculiar transistors.

The Fuzz Master General is based on the Acetone FM-2, no? How does the Acetone circuit differ from a Superfuzz circuit?
