Title: Winter Soldier Green Russian Big Muff
Post by: Thewintersoldier on October 14, 2021, 03:57:43 PM
I haven't had a straight up big muff in years. Every one that I have built in the past 5 years has been a modded, tweaked version with extra pots and switches. I've had these set knobs for 3 years unused so I made my favorite version of the big muff, green Russian tall font. This is a bone stock version 7c. I ended up using BC549c's in this one. I did the wiring all white just like the sovteks had. I pulled my inspiration for the enclosure from both the original and the reissue nano. Distortion label, just like the original. Winter soldier symbol replaces the original star design and the first 5 five of Bucky's activation words in Russian Cyrillic. This thing sounds the part, into a pushed amp with p90s it's instant Dan Auerbach.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211014/808534ed94d305fe966833d6f5e8fbf5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211014/809ead7738ffdc5bc51a2fb7f748ee39.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211014/6de3be38296a9d494832979d5769b950.jpg)

I saw this earlier on IG, but it has to be said again. That is damn fine work! I'm surprised the knobs don't look too big on that size enclosure.

Wait, is this actually your first Winter Soldier themed pedal? Love the inclusion of the activation words!

I used to have a green Russian back in the mid-90s, but it wasn't the one with the knobs you used here. Not sure which version really, but it did sound pretty great. I liked boosting it with a TS-9 or MXR!  ;)

That really came out great, and the Green Russians are one of the best flavors! Reminds me I have a sparkle version of these knobs I need to actually do something cool with.
