How's this compare to a big muff?

Great question!
The baxandall stack rather than the BMP mid-scoop in 4th stage gives the circuit an entire new identity. From bump and grind to claw marks down your back.
Tribute to your Build at Project Development:I had posted pictures of a couple of builds on another thread, but a few folks pointed out to me they really belong here
This is an original BuggFX design, and in my opinion, this is how an Si fuzz pedal should sound. The Baxandall TS gives you great leverage to play through chords or saw through the single notes all over the fretboard.
If fuzz is in your future, you should build this pedal.

Just yesterday, as I was on an online shopping spree amassing supplies for a bunch of upcoming builds, I needed one BC549C, and ordered 10 because they were about US 10c each at the Australian supplier I was buying from (AU 14c). Needed to buy some extras to get above the free shipping minimum, so I just bought multiples of various caps and trannies.
And today I see this, calling for 4 BC549Cs. OK, I can take a hint; added to wishlist. Thanks Fig!

Uhm… any reason not to just post the link in the thread?
If so, send me the ewe are ‘ell…
In case at some point in the future they decide to start selling something like autographed glamour-shots of Putin instead of pogo-pins. My favorite C280 seller switched to lingerie just last month. I mean, you can only own so many babydoll nighties.
Speaking of 'unmentionables' (I just love that segue)...I remember a particular company Christmas party. Just as I was being introduced to speak, I noticed something protruding from my pant leg...I recognized it immead....imedia...right away! It was a pair of my wife's pink panties that had static'd itself to the inside of my trousers. I walked to the podium....gave the audience a puzzled look....shoved my hands down my pants pockets and fidgeted around a moment...squirmed a bit, then reached down and yanked the undies from my pants, held them high and exclaimed "TA DA!" Everyone thought it was hilarious.....except my wife.
Link sent.

Those arrived yesterday, I'm just waiting for DHL to deliver the parts (hopefully today) so I can verify the board.

Someone else pointed out it could use a bit more solder...maybe I'll touch it up for good measure.

I’m Interested in those clips. Looks like a great addition to a test bed. Does your source ship to Canada!??

Ok, just built my Acid Rain Fuzz (build report coming soon) and all I can say is...holy shit! The tones I'm getting out of this thing are absolutely insane. Virtually every amp model I throw at it sounds freaking awesome. The harmonics of it are super tight with some good compression to boot. Serious sustain with this thing. I think I like it even better than a Muff. It's that good.

I've been looking at this and the Thorpy Fallout Cloud, which seems to be very close to this but with the clipping diodes
Anyone got both pedals? I built a Catalinbread Manx Loghtan which is a muff with bass and treble and was very disappointed in it. Wondering if one of these are more up my alley

Yeah Bugg should market this pedal, it is one of the best fuzzes I have ever used.

The Thorpy is a modified Muff circuit. Whereas the Acid Rain appears to diverge quite a bit from a typical Muff circuit. The Thorpy sounds good….but it’s more or less just a different Muff flavor

I wonder…Would it be ok to build and sell Acid Rain pedals on Reverb? I’m tempted to try to see what the response is like.
