    My recipe for a much more versatile Muff: add a 4-position rotary, as in the BYOC Large Beaver (mid notch, flat mids, mid boost, tonestack bypass). Add a small treble bleeder cap to the sustain pot. Use transistors with not too high hfe, maybe bc239. And ... dang! ... The creamiest and most flexible Muff. Would be nice to see this in a production model

  • @mrbaiser4133
    @mrbaiser4133 11 місяців тому

    Suggestion: Make a 5 knob Deluxe version, with a bass control and a smooth control instead of the internal trim pot. Maybe use a trim pot to bias the input transistor. This should make this pedal MUCH more versatile.

    I studied Russian Muffs (hehe) for so long. There are things I couldn't figure out. But the main thing I saw when checking the components wasn't the hfe of the transistor. The bassy sound comes mostly from drifting clipping capacitors that are right beside the diodes in the big muff circuit. Standard value for a Sovtek Muff is 47 nF. However, a lot of Big Muffs have somewhere around 33 nF in the first section and around 42-45 nF in the second stage. But I also had Sovtek Big Muffs that had wildly different values like 50-55 nF. I had this one Black Russian Big Muff once. Man it sounded superb. I was always testing it side by side against other Sovtek Big Muffs. Nothing could beat it. It had tons of gain, it was creamy, it sounded very middy but yet scooped. It sounded magical. And most important, the sound was very well rounded. I never could figure out how to achieve that sound in a Big Muff. I checked everything and just couldn't find any special things in the circuit, except a drifted clipping capacitor. But that alone didn't give me the same sound when I tried to clone it.... Those things are borderline magic. Does anybody has a secret for a creamy yet bassy sovtek muff?????

    • @bluecolander
      @bluecolander Рік тому

      muff circuit is not complicated, but overall parts count is relatively high, so with given poor tolerance and shifted values there are lots of possible variations. that 'secret' you mentioned is not a single or few parts 'recipe' - rather an outcome of all variables in the whole circuit.

    • @thallrudedjentstorm1756
      @thallrudedjentstorm1756 Рік тому

      ​@@bluecolander It's certainly right that all parts do play a role in the overall sound. However, in a Big Muff circuit there are just a few parts that really alter the sound a lot. That being the clipping caps and diodes (mostly forward voltage). Clipping caps and diodes really set up the distortion tone. All Big Muffs I owned and what sounded amazing had diodes with higher forward voltage than usual. Way higher than a normal 1N4148. Diodes really set up the distortion tone. It's difficult to describe... But diodes with higher forward voltage take off the edge of the high fizzy tone. Essentially the tone is more rounded and sounds more pleasant. It's almost a single part recipe. Almost nobody talks about this. I wonder why......
