Quick question: what does the trimpot in the Li'l Fuzz do, and what can I expect if I make adjustments outside the recommendation?

I haven't received the kit, yet, so I'm memorizing the instructions and wondering where and how I can personalize the pedal, both internally and externally.

It biases the transistor, which will change the character of the fuzz. The voltage recommendation is just that, a recommendation. Or perhaps a starting point. It's best to use your ears to determine where you'd like it set. And many people connect a regular pot instead of a trimpot so they can make it an external control—although this would be pretty tricky with a mini enclosure.

Thanks for the response!
