The Private Reserve Premium Fuzz is based on the hybrid Ge Fuzz. The main differences are instead of using RUS MP38A Germanium Transistors in Q1 and Q2, it uses vintage '60's General Electric NOS 2N167 Germanium Mil-Spec transistors. These transistors have the best guitar volume clean-up I've ever heard. It also has NOS Fairchild Silicon diodes and NOS Bundeswehr Germanium diodes. The latter diodes are among the last of their kind from my stash, I only have 6 more left. And the transistors are the only ones I have, from my research they are very rare and very expensive. So it is unlikely there will ever be another Private Reserve Fuzz with these particular transistors.
If you are a player looking for a classic sounding fuzz with superior touch and guitar volume clean-up, this is the one.
