Ungula Fuzz for Bass Guitar

[jrhevron]

I like to have a lot of options, switches, etc... but I really listened and liked the no diodes option. Surprised me somewhat as well.

What does the clipping on the last stage? Is it the q1 transistor?

Yes. If the (Hoowf) schematic the BigMuffPage is correct, then EQD numbers the transistors from right to left on the schematic.

I'm calling this take on the Hoof/Muff... the Woof

And I'm sure that after all of these mods it doesn't sound like a muff is "supposed to," but it's a great OD/Fuzz for bass and that's all I care about. I also have a Wren and Cuff Russian on my board to cover more traditional muff sounds.

I like muffs that are mutts...

The Mutt that might be even better than the Woof.

Played this with a band tonight and just couldn’t get it to sound right. Too boomy and not a rich enough fuzz. Might need to add clipping back in.

Just added Green LED's to the 2nd stage and a pair of red LED's to the first. Sounds way better than no LEDs

I'm going to try yellow LED's in the first stage tonight. I used those on another muff and liked the sound over other colors I had on hand.
