The Maestro Fuzz-Tone circuit was invented by studio engineer Glen Snotty. Snotty was trying to emulate the sound on Marty Robbins 1961 hit record 'Don't Worry' where the bass solo had a distorted tone due to a failing tube preamp in one of the mixers.
The inventor was a gentleman by the name of Glenn Snoddy ( NOT ) Snotty. You should be sure before putting items on the web.
