As the title states I wanted to make use of the breadboard before committing this to a more permanent circuitboard trying to play around with distortion from an opamp set as a comparator and along the way I stumbled upon the Craig Anderton article from 1972 for the Optimum Fuzz. Seeing this design is made up of a small handful of parts I felt it would be a good thing to learn on for laying out a breadboard. Verified it worked on my oscilloscope when I saw a nice healthy amplified square wave on the end of the circuit. Tested it on the guitar and sure enough it was a wall of fuzz. Unfortunately I didn’t have any pots on hand so I had to set it up as if it had all the controls maxed out.
