fuzz face base current balance


I've been playing with the fuzz face bias resistors and found out that under certain conditions both base currents can be identical. At this point the fuzz is a litlle, little better... well, at least for my taste.
Refer to http://www.geocities.com/guitarfxs for a mathematical analysis of the bias resistors.
If someone have an oscilloscope, and the time, to check this I would welcome any data.

By the way, always use a trim pot instead of the 33K resistor. Sometimes the best bias are near 20K or less, very close to the point where the sound begins to fade out.
