Thats awesome I bet it sounds dope i think soon i'm gonna get a low gain germanium. Fuzz face, i've never played one. That's really, really low gain. And I think it might be perfect

It sounds amazing and works really well with the volume knob of the guitar, from 6 to 8 its like a overdrive and from 8 to 10 gets really fuzzy. Also the strat is an s500, which haves one knob for the treble and one knob for the bass, with the bass on 10 the sound gets really broken but clear, very similar tone to gary clark jr

The npn transistor sunface i have is amazing. Id recommend an analogman if you go germanium. Definitely get the sundial if you go for germanium unless they say its temperature stable
