Big Muff Man OH YA

[Popnfreshbass]

I used the op amp style graphics, but the green russian specs for the guts. Also I really like the look of these LED bezels…But I don’t heatshrink my LED leads and it’s dangerously close to touching. Going back to plastic next pedal. Turns out I also didn’t have as many sockets left as I thought so transistors went in bareback

The price is crazy and I think they're splined shaft only but......

Those would be perfect, but man are they pricey!

Oh Ya!

Still pricy, but you can get 3 for £20 instead of £10 each

I think soldering the transistors in on a pedal like this is a good idea. I've had too many issues with transistors coming loose in the past. And I think you're unlikely to need to swap transistors out in a Big Muff. The only time I want to use transistor sockets is on Ge trannies. They often need plenty of experimentation!

BTW - and this goes for most Muffs - if you want to try a creamier sound you can try lower hfe transistors like a 2N3904 or even a 2N2222A. Still plenty of gain but a juicier, creamier feel/sound. It can be fun to try these little tricks.

I’ve moved away from this. All possible scenarios are breadboarded and then those suckers get soldered (quickly and carefully) into the board. I recently flirted with a board design that had 3 Pole Term blocks for transistors but they were too big and I couldn’t get them in black.

THIS!

My Ram’s Head build has a set of 171 hFE Amperex A115 and I couldn't be happier.

Yeah the low gain trannies in a Muff can be fantastic, can't they?

No one here has a 3-D printer?

I think 3-D printers cost more than the knobs Chuck.

Lame joke aside,
I do recall someone having one. @dawson maybe?
