    Hello:
    I have a vintage Muff Fuzz with the small point to point circuit.
    It works well.
    I see on several Muff Fuzz schematics out there on the web, an electrolytic capacitor, usually 47uF, is placed from the battery to ground.
    These Muff Fuzzes do not have a DC jack and are battery only, same as vintage one.
    The one I have has a value of 33uF, probably not a big deal.

    Question(s) to satisfy my Curiosity:
    What is the purpose of this electrolytic capacitor ?
    Or what was the original intent of this capacitor in this circuit ?
    (I understand that it probably works without it, although I have not tried, but….)

    Thank you much
    Paul (I am not an electronic engineer and have only a basic understanding)
