actually we would need a schematic. if we had good pictures of both sides of the circuit board, many of us here could probably draw a pretty close approximation.
taking a wild guess from what i can see, i would say it's a preamp. if it were a fuzz box, it would normally have two pots, one for gain, and one for output level. this only has a pot for gain, and judging by the resistors on the board, and the 100k pot, probably a gain of 100 maximum. something about the flash spectrum and the paint used on the resistors makes it darn difficult to tell the difference between orange, red, and brown.
also, this is a vero-board, and the lines go horizontally from the chip outwards, just like on a plastic breadboard.
