I've just completed this device and it does what it's supposed
to(distort a guitars output signal) but has no gain... Can anyone help
me try and get more gain out of this pig? Perhaps change some of the
devices values...add pots? Who knows I don't... see this hyperlink to
view the schematic ( http://www.diystompboxes.com/pedals/orange.jpg )

Thanks

What kind of a load does it drive? If it is high-impedance load, you can
get a lot more gain by moving the 0.1 output coupling capacitor to the
collector of the second transistor.

This is for a guitar...an effects box that creates distortion...

I'm not 100% certain but I think if you made the 4.7k larger, or the 1k
smaller you would get more gain, also a potentiometer across the output
would allow you to control the level with the amount of distortion staying
the same (assuming you would be playing clean and bypassing the fuzz some of
the time. Though no bypass switch is shown)
