Muroidea Gated Sound

[Travis]

Hi everyone,

I build a Muroidea distorsion and it´s sounds great but when I turn the gain more than 12 o´clock it´s start to make ``gate sound´´ like a fuzz.

How can I remove this gate sound, I saw reviews of Rats and it´s doesn´t get gated sound.

Thank you all

Is it sort of “ducking” the low notes? And little effect on the higher notes

Yes, but just when I turn gain more than 12 o´clock.

Yep there’s too much bass hitting the opamp when the gain is turned up. Swap C2 out for a 2u2 or 1uf and see if that fixes it. I do this to just about every Rat I make.

Would adding a bass knob help with that? Asking bc a Muroidea will be part of my next batch of builds.

Ok I will try..

Can I reduce the gain of the pedal too?

Quite possibly, I’ve never tried.

Sure use red LEDs for clipping diodes instead of 4148s.

Or just use a smaller gain pot. I've gone as low as 10K. And the bass pot mod of Chuck's has made it a much more usable pedal for me.
