Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi pedal. There are a large number of Pedals on the spec at Angelic Studios.
Now that I'm not living on 650 calories a day anymore and my brain's (kinda, sorta) working right again, I decided to go ahead and finish this turret-board Big Muff build.
Man, the front of the board may look like chaos, but the back of the board is kind of a frenzy, too. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a one-off. Wow. No wonder they used a PCB at Electro-Harmonix.
Oh, BTW...I know the mix of resistor sizes/types is kind of a social faux pas, but I used what I had available and there are a lot of values in this build.
Russian Big Muff Pi modified to include a bypass for the second diode clipping stage, and a feedback loop. Cosmetic changes like an ultra bright white LED and white knobs were also made.
Repost @keeleyelectronics ・・・ How about The Dark Side for Summer NAMM in Nashville. Has Delay and Plate Reverb, or Rotary Speaker Cab, or U-Vibe with Octave Up or Down. And that to a killer IC Huge Muph Pi for the front end with three way EQ selector and you have stompbox Heaven. #guitar #tone #effectspedals #stompbox #geartalk #knowyourtone #pinkfloyd #davidgilmour #bigmuff #onestompawayfromnirvana, via Instagram: bit.ly/28PI2ZH
from EHX.com:
"Combining four classic germanium transistors, the Germanium Big Muff Pi is the result of a focused modern design dripping with EH analog heritage. An independent overdrive and distortion each have their own sets of two germanium transistors as well as independent controls. The ability to stack and use both the overdrive and distortion together delivers the power of a four germanium transistor circuit with ultimate control flexibility."

Electro-Harmonix current production Russian Big Muff Pi, modified to include a feedback loop and a bypass for the second set of clipping diodes.
My take on the Big Muff, using the "Der Muff Green Russian - Distortion kit" from Das Musikding as a base and the Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz as an inspiration for mods. It has the Focus (Lowend) and Mids knobs as found in the first incarnation of the Musket and a smoothness switch I came up with myself.
Read all about it on the Workbench of the UK Les Paul Forum: Done a bit of Muff research.
Today kind of sucked. First my Fuzz Face build didn't work. I've been worried that I was missing something in the power inverter and I'm pretty much certain that's what's causing my problem.
So I put that aside after hours of failing to find the problem and decided to finally assemble this Big Muff build and it doesn't work, either. I have no idea what the problem might be with this. I mean, there are a lot of places that might be problematic. My first job should be checking all those sockets to make sure they're securely connected, but I'm just too bummed to do it right now.
My wife is always all, "There's a reason you build guitars and don't own an electrical engineering firm." Yeah, the reason is a lack of engineering education. And a love of guitar. But still. If you can't punch yourself in the face for your shortcomings, what's the point?
Man, I really wanted this to work...
