Do tell!
I don't know if the actual electronics layout sucks or no, but I do like my BAT pedal
I actually get better Mike Scheidt tones using a Bluesdriver and an EQ, though, come to think of it

For me, doom and that genre is a little subjective. If you want to jam on some Electric Wizard, Monolord, Windhand, etc the Parenthesis and Hyped Fuzz will cover most of that. If you just want that wall of fuzz it's hard to beat a Muffin with Green Russian specs, Arkaim Fuzz, Bayonet Fuzz, Ionizer2, just to name a few. It's all about how you use it imo

We can’t forget about the get RAD dizzy elk… that can get pretty burly.

I built the quantum mystic on Vero according to the dirtbox layouts version. I like it for doom stuff but it needs to be driving something else. I use it with a rat mostly

I saw a cool Vero layout for a 250 using discrete op amps. Looks interesting

Deadend FX Brass Monkey, (Devi Silver Rose clone) - Superfuzz and Opamp Muff in parallel, you can blend the two together and then there's tone, presence, and a clean blend after that.
Here's a taste on bass.
From Dunwich, I'd say the Wizard Fuzz might be your best bet.
Or the Fuzz Throne, Fuzzdog has that one.

Matt Pike used to use the Atomic Cock ( https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb548/ ) but he may know nothing about doom.
That also goes back to things being subjective. I like to add a small bit of modulated delay a la the Magnetron Delay to thicken up the sound when dooming. It is nice also because it can boost and thicken in one stomp.

I auditioned my pedals this evening.
Cream puff made it near the top of the doomage.
The Sergeant fuzz could also be an interesting choice.
The other "doom" pedal I built was the cleric, which is okay but I don't think it adds much over the arkaim.
But like the person said, it's a lot in how you play and what kind of sound you're looking for. I mean... Iommi was nothing but a Laney and a boost.

Same guys, different Superfuzz! I'm partial to their version of the Last Gasp Arts Labs 46 Sooperfuzz

I got this one on my workbench right now. Waiting on a few parts to finish it up. Demos on YouTube sound awesome

The QM uses four op amp stages where only two are required:
- Stage 1: Provides the gain that drives the hard-clipping diodes. This is the same as the 250.
- Stage 2: Unnecessary 26dB boost. The next stage is an active filter that doesn't introduce insertion loss. Omit that and a coupling cap.
- Stage 3: Part of the active filter network.
- Stage 4: Extra op amp stage being used as a non-inverting voltage follower because ???

I had to look up the schematic. That R8 1m could have just been a pot for the output volume then they could have ditched that last op amp stage altogether. Maybe it was designed with the germanium diodes in mind and they stuck the other diodes on a switch as an afterthought? I'm not that familiar with YOB.

The new iteration pairs the Quantum Mystic with the Witch Burner circuit as well. It’s called the Raw Heart OD

Circling back, some of the best tones I ever had for the low and heavies was an HM-2 (highs turned down to just below chainsaw peak lol) running after a BAT Black Forest (which is a modded coloursound overdriver). I keep meaning to make a combo pedal of that with an order switcher. They go great together. I think I have a recording somewhere of them with my amp just cookin, I’ll dig.
(Also if anyone wants a BDE board or the full deal pedal itself let me know. I will definitely give some deep friend/member deals on a built one! Or trade for something you made. End of shameless plug.)

Muffin fuzz(Green Russian with feedback mod)
Maybe these are a little more stoner than doom this genre honestly isn’t my wheelhouse.. but I will be working on a new on soon, for the dizzy elk

Out of curiosity did you omit the tone-stack entirely or replace what would have been the TMB pots with resistors?
