A couple Stripboard Muffs

In honor of Pi day I have a couple vero Muff variants. Not a big fan of vero but I wanted to make these boards. Still a struggle to get the offboard wiring clean.

First up is the Emanating Fist XB-70. This is based off a '77 Guild Foxey Lady. It sounds very smooth. Mids switch is pretty subtle.





Next is the Minotaur Sonic Terrors Swamp Lord. I believe it is based off the Rams Head. I was able to get the NOS BC239s for it. Tried a bunch of diodes but ended up with 1N4148s and green 3mm LEDs. I love this thing. Sounds huge and doom. The mids switch gets good variety.



Lastly is the Dunwich/Magic Pedals Fuzz Throne. I'm actually not 100% sure if this one is a Muff but it rules. My build is super noisy and has bad oscillation when the gain and boost are cranked. Not sure if it's due to the offboard wiring or what. Would love a PCB of this one. Really of all these.

F- yeah!
Fuzz Throne looks like a Cthulhu with some tone shaping and another jfet stage on the back end.

I kinda love stripboard, glad to see these!

Although- once in a while I also have a problem with fuzz-full-up oscillation (Boss T-Bone, looking at you). Didn’t happen on the breadboard with SUPER long wires, so I kinda figure some stripboard layouts might position things in ways that technically work but create some issues like extra noise/oscillations.
