Thanks. Using the clippers sounds cool, and maybe that's obvious, but I'll add that their brightness will depend on the Gain pot (more gain = more light) and also the clippers won't be synchronized regarding brightness.

This was a no brainer. Lemmy in a box. Delivers in spades. Headroom à go-go. Louder, faster, harder! Yeah!

Yeah! 🤘 Or expression. Gliding from the "no ring mod" end of the Freq knob into the ring mod zone in Glitch mode is pretty cool.

This is a vero layout I found on dirtbox. The circuit is by Bluff Chill devices. Ring mod on the repeats sounded like fun - and it is! Dirty, noisy robots and stuff. I went with the recommendation to add a boost at the input and up the Freq control from 5 to 10k which gives a bit more range and...

So, when @Morbidpale presented his Overloader he had me at "bass boost". ;) I mean, anything Muff related already has my attention and this sounded right up my alley. And it indeed is! Such a great circuit. The amount of bass this thing can spit out is amazing. I tried it with my Ampeg setup...

The Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk B, with external bias control, might be something. Fuzzdog and Moonn sell a PCB for that, or do it on vero.

I'll just say it up front: I really don't like building on vero board. All those cuts and links, then rows to be missed, also wires everywhere and just generally too many occasions to fuck up something. On the other hand, some circuits are not available on PCBs (or I didn't find those), so I'm...

Sometimes, I get PCBs from the chaps at Fuzzdog, mostly only if I can't find something anywhere else, because I generally don't like their side jacks and power" approach. Going for top jacks and power often means that all the controls have to be moved down ... or do off-board wiring. So, this...

I had another of these PCBs, so why not build it? I prefer the Dunwich take on this circuit (also with clean blend) for bass. The first Blood Letter, I gave to my drummer and they used with his other band in the studio, on a song, distorting synth sounds. Anyway, the Blood Letter is based on...

Here are two more boards from my last Moonn order. First up is the Schaller Sustainer, which Nils describes as an "old ass german fuzz pedal with a blend control". It's a nice fat fuzz and the blend control is actually pretty good implemented, I'd say. Although it sports 5 x 2n5088 (1 for the...

I'd say it is, although I didn't try both to hear the difference, I just went with 50k. No negatives. Also, I gave it to my guitar player for testing and since then, it has been on his board.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Sanford and Sonny fuzz? In that case: no need for a blend. I own one of those and use it on bass. It totally slays and cuts through any kind of mix as is. Edit: the tone bypass switch on later models is very cool, don't leave that out.

I'm not even wearing clown shoes, I'm just clumsy. :LOL:

This is the PedalPCB Parentheses Mini board, but two foot switches on a 125B is not my cup of tea, so I went with a BB enclosure. I used an OP07 and matched the Ge diodes (OA1182, 330mV). Sounds great! Maximum volume yields maximum results.

Maybe you might consider to open a thread in the "modifications" section to have a better chance of getting answers than asking in a build report. I'd say put in sockets and try stuff ... ;)
