nice vids mate :) i like them alot. a bit confusing at times but fun as hell. im trying to teach myself the phisix of smaller audio circuits. so i can follow a bit and i hope ill learn more thanks to your vids. !
i will get back to you regarding this :) will watch em again and point those moments out! just to be clear, when i say confusing its not hardcore confusing, just ..you know sometimes you rush through some components and go into details with others. but i know, some of those are more important to the audio signal than others.
I find the best Big-Muff sound by plugging guitar into a Crybaby and then the Muff. I use DiMarzio DP100 13.68 Kohm pickups. Don't know how other pickups affect sound. The passive super high output DP100 really drives it and being passive it reacts and creates super cool harmonics. Makes a rookie sound like a pro- LoL
Dope. I love incomprehensible stuff written in joke format. Love that I have no idea what you're talking about. Very fun. Very David Lynch. Very, "The universe doesn't make sense, and I am not interested in fighting against the nature of the universe." Very tooth. Very dental. Teeth.
@@theandromedacorporation darn it if you are as old as me, you know "muff" was a 60's and 70's expression for girly bits and then the old joke is far less "incomprehensible" 😎 I believe even this pedal product name played on that classic slang term
Lol, I knew I'd find a hater for that idea. I like it. I usually play humbuckers, so my signal is already kinda hot before it hits the muff. So it's not like I'm after a clean boost tone or anything like that.
I come with with 159 for the high pass cut point for C13 R12. Would R16 be in series with R12? C5, C13, C3 are coupling capacitors to keep the stages isolated from dc. Are these film caps? If not it would be interesting to use films as they do in hi-fi audio amps
I actually tried to build this circuit a few years ago, but didn't have all the right components and used the closest I could find. It actually turned out sounding really good. It is quite a little chugging machine and I have used it in many recordings.
Hi guys, what could be the cause of the self-oscillation problem in Big Muff? I tried different capacitors, cleaned everything, tried different transistors, but I still have oscillation, help!
It is a second schematics from two I've seen on this channel, where is an error that makes the circuit not working at all. Here it is the bias for the last transistor, which will drive it into full saturation, so no signal passing at all. To me it seems like the R7 is supposed to be connected to the collector as the feedback as well, like the previous stages, then the operating point will be in the 4.5V ballpark on the collector... This remark is not on the author of the video, but it seems the literature contains intentional errors in it to make the circuits not working.
Excellent stuff, this was really helpful to go through what the circuit is doing.
Thanks! I’m trying.

You're killing it bro! ❤
Try a pointer that is visible. Either the contrast setting or some annoying color that can't be missed.
@@sniperturtle1thanks that’s good feedback.

What parts are confusing? I’m gonna make more of these videos, so constructive criticism is very welcome!

@@gountberlin1669 I would appreciate the notes! Thanks in advance.

I talked into a big muff.
I said "Wow you got a big muff, Wow you got a big muff"
She said... "Why did you say it twice?"

@@wizrom3046 I actually think that wasn't the problem.
Great video! Except the part where you said you like to turn the sustain all the way down, what the hell is that.
I do that every once in a while. Not often
Lol, I knew I'd find a hater for that idea.

Seems like the end result could have been done with half the circuitry. Wonder why two clip stages and the amp in the beginning?
Yeah. Makes me want to make a version where you can toggle between one, two, or three clipping sections. Maybe call it The Small/Medium/Large Muff.

the thing is that I've made a couple of muff before and they didn't have this problem
They have every muff schematic except the op-amp apparently
would it be possible to change the negative feedback loop to do mid cut rather than highs?
R9 is a bias resistor.
So that's what they mean by 'mid scooped'
It means the mids are scooped. Hope that halps. #Tooth emoji.
