EHX Bass Big Muff volume mod

Post by sutarappa »

i'm sure a few of the bassers around here have seen this on Talkbass, but i thought i would make a note of it here in the house of fuzz:
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=713891

easy install of a master volume control to dial back the BBM's blend mode to unity gain. i think this fixes the main problem with the unit. the toggle switch is a separate oscillation mod.

This seems interesting, I found the blend mode very unusefull on mine, so might give it a go in the near future..

some brief examples. note - i did not know soundclick was going to re-encode down to 128kbps so some of the crispness and attack of the clips is a bit rounded off...
