Building the Garnet Stinger Fuzz! Part 1: Planning // Gray Bench Electronics

Hello all and welcome back to the bench!
Today we're going to examine the Garnet stinger fuzz circuit (both versions), and make a battle plan for putting one together.
Next week we'll begin assembly.
Enjoy!

Awesome, I have an old Garnet head with the stinger. Its a wild sound.

I had an early Rebel back in the early nineties. The Stinger circuit was amazing when it worked, which was rarely. I still use Garnet amps, though. Love 'em.

I had a later Rebel II with Stinger that had the 6JW8 circuit. It was pretty much unusable, with over the top gain and feedback. I never tried tweaking the circuit, just passed it on to a guy that was very into fuzz. I also had an earlier Rebel Deluxe with Stinger that was much better, more like the early, pre-American Woman Herzog that I had. I'm not sure what tube that one had...

GRAY Bench, What is the difference between Grid Biasing compared to Grid Leakage biasing?
