A tale of two Muffs.

I think most of us have built/bought a few
Muffs and discovered which Muff is “their” Muff. Mine is the og Dope Priest/74 Ram’s Head #1 specs. It’s a street fighter. I’ve been wanting to build one with a few extra bells and whistles, but nothing crazy like the Factory haha. The Muffinator board felt like the best platform for my build so I ordered two.

The build came together easy, I went with BC549Cs. 4148 and LEDs for the clipping options. AMZ body/presence control. There are many Muffs but this one is most definitely mine.

For the second pcb my first thought was either Triangle or Violet specs. But I kept thinking, would I use it much instead of the 74 Ram. I then remembered the Hoof which is a great distinct Muff variation. I used stock Hoof values. 2N3904s and MP38s. Same clipping options as the other pedal.

Enclosures are Tayda glow in the dark. I wanted a sparse livery. The LEDs are 10mm pink I ordered after seeing a build by @VanWhy with a yellow10mm LED.

The pedals are named after a couple of old musty books I came across in the Miskatonic Univeristy library when I attended classes there.

These are really cool. I like the way the switches are off board wired. I may borrow that concept.

These are sweet. +1 on loving that off board wiring for the switches. I need to build a dope priest. I know there is some thread where it's discussed around here.

I accidentally bought some 10mm LEDs a while back- what bezel do you use for those?

You could likely find them cheaper, but here is a Amazon link:

Somewhere in my (very long) list of things to do is make a muff that doesn't suck

Nice builds. These look great

Damn those are really pretty. Love that style. What lights are you using? They look awesome. Not too bright but big and noticeable

Oops. I see you answered that already. So it's a big old 10 mm LED with a plastic bezel? The result is really cool

Yep! I let the top of the LED stick out a little farther than I would a 5mm LED, and also filled the bezel with hot glue. It’s pretty solid.
