Big Muff Pi permanent tone bypass

[Bricksnbeatles]

I've built 4 Big Muffs for myself but I ended up ordering 2 more boards and want to try something new, the 2nd is going to a friend and will just build a standard one

Have I lost my mind? Possibly

You’ve probably lost your mind, but as long as you haven’t lost as much of your mind as I have, you should be fine!

Nothing wrong with bypassing the tone stack semi-permanently: add a 150k resistor and you won't get the volume jump (150k is what EHX used/uses for its own tone-bypass mod).

You could make that resistor variable as a trimmer or external and make the tone bypass switch a stomper.

Go for it!

I 've done the hard tone bypass before as part of a larger set of mods ... was unprepared for the results, definitely not the same as the tone bypass switching on the old op amp muff
