    What to do first

    My first was a wooly mammoth. It's inexpensive, an easy build, and doesn't suck out the low end. It's also super gated and pretty far down my bass fuzz tier list now that I've gone full Pokémon and built them all. I would say that when I think of bass friendly circuits that are good for a...

    PPCB Deep End

    Yes, I think he used a resistor greater than 200k which is why I went with a 500k trimmer. I would guess that mine is set somewhere around 300k - 350k but i don't know how much benefit I'm getting from that increase. I just stopped messing with it when I was happy.

    PPCB Deep End

    That's what I had assumed, I never saw anyone mention anything other than the expected transistor matching for superfuzz type circuits. I matched Q4 and Q5 and it fired up right away so I didn't really mess with that trim pot.

    What's on the workbench?

    Those things look ready to kick a field goal.

    What's on the workbench?

    The only real deterrent is being so turned off by the guts that you no longer care to find out how it works. (Cue descending slide whistle)

    Nobelium - tube bass preamp project

    Musikding isn't a scam, a lot of folks around here order from them regularly.

    Tungsten Preamp - another weird D.I. thing

    Damn, that's some ugly holes. Did you accidently order from musikdung?

    Sub-octave recommendation

    I use an Ocelot but I added a boost to the output and omitted the dry and oct2 knobs. I also have a Lectricfx Soy Sauce (meatbox) on my board next to an authentic EHX HOG. A Parasit Arcadiator is also occasionaly included. My answer to this question is "yes absolutely those and also a few...

    Pcbguitarmania Flaming Space Ring

    This is way super old but I figured i could follow up since I've been using this pedal a bunch lately. I find the wormhole knob to function as you describe at intense settings but with it at more tame and tremoloish settings the knob is useful further back in the sweep. Did you ever resolve the...

    Maestro MFZ-1

    One of my earliest builds was the byoc 1590a version of this circuit. It's a great fuzz, mine got dethroned pretty quickly but it's surprisingly decent on bass.
