The Slim Jim is an adaptation of a Jimi Hendrix-spec fuzz face. It's been adapted to fit a 1590A, with a single knob for volume.
The volume pot is board mounted and will take a bit of modification (clipping the pins) to make sure they don't touch other rails as they will need to be mounted and soldered on the copper side. A little tricky, but it can be done.
For transistors, i got a nice sound out of some BC337's with HFE from 215-250, but they also generated some noise. Socket, and try BC107A, BC108A or BC182L, and aim for HFE's around 200.
Look for low-profile electrolytics & 1/8W resistors which will help save space as well.
