    Bassifying a Muff

    I need to post it... but I had to give it some time and really listen. In the end, what I have been using is two different CMC Muffs. One is a tall font with Mids with the coupling caps replaced for 180n and LEDs (green/clear) in both sets of clippers. I am also using a Violet Rams head with...

    TUTORIAL Why Your Clean Blends Suck ... or "How to (Clean) Blend"

    I never done perf…how hard would it be to make an additive op amp blend like the nucleon fix one (starting from scratch)?

    TUTORIAL Why Your Clean Blends Suck ... or "How to (Clean) Blend"

    Anyone know where to get the nucleon FD boards?

    Phase ii (w Blend Knob)

    I'm a bass player, so I'd just want to blend in more dry signal... not more phased signal.

    Phase II

    Does anyone know if you can run the Phaser II at 18V? Does it make a difference?

    Has anyone done this blend? How was it?

    Akronym

    How different is it, component-wise, than the Plumes? I have a Pedal PCB plumes that I tried to mod for bass but it's not great... would love to bring it over to blumes territory. I have an EQD Blumes and love it on bass. It's more of a utility pedal for me. Great boost/presence and helps bring...

    Bassifying a Muff

    I'm finding that if I reduce the value of the clipping caps from 47n to 18n (what I had on hand), a lot more clean bass is passed through and only the top end gets clipped. This sounds good to me... but I have been looking at all of the popular schematics and nobody goes below 47n on the...

    Son of Ben Preamp for Bass

    I think the only thing that could make this pedal better is dialing in a little bit more low mids. Probably a tonestack/resistor change? That's kind of the limits of my ability right now. Maybe adjust C3, C4, and R6... looks like they probably all work together?

    In doing the muff mods, I realized that my son of Ben could use another look to see if it could be optimized!

    Bassifying a Muff

    Haven't abandoned this project... just still playing around with it. I want to give it some time and go back and forth with some values. Also, someone just suggested over on talkbass putting a resistor between the clipping caps and the clipping diodes as a way to give more of a "blend" of...

    Definitely sourced from the many more experienced people here! I think I just put them all together for bass.

    Son of Ben Preamp for Bass

    Just wanted to post this for anyone looking to build a Son of Ben for bass: For use with bass: I ended up switching out C1 and C2 for a 150n cap and C6 and C8 for 330n (what I had on hand, though I think anything 100n and above would have been fine). That really opened up the pedal and makes...

    Are you playing it at 18V? Sounds way better. I built my for bass and: ended up switching out C6 and C8 for 330n (what I had on hand, though I think anything 100n and above would have been fine). That really opened up the pedal and makes it sound a lot fuller and more useful on bass. Also...
