Title: Scuba Muff
Post by: jkokura on April 13, 2011, 11:30:10 PM
Here's one I thought I'd share, though it's not a Madbean project. Because of the intense amount of wiring on this, I don't think I'll ever try to do this in a 125B again. I can only imagine how difficult a 1590B would be...

It's a Muff Diver clone. I used one switch for the Cornish/Muff cap choices instead of two. There's a very large variety of sounds you can get from this. I've been able to cop a Treble booster sound right through to mega wall of Fuzz type sounds. Pretty cool, but it'll take forever and a notebook to really get all the settings on this thing nailed in.

And the Guts.

And in Action.

I have used the G.B.O.M. boards, but I won't do it in a 125B. Not worth the trouble.

I have used 'Bean's boards, 'Bean's joint effort with a guy named Forrest, and all of the GuitarPCB boards.

They all have pluses and minuses. You have encountered a minus. ;D

But that project is VERY versatile. Rob is one of my mentors.

Great choice! That thing must sound beastly. I have a bunch of these left to populate, its just which project to decide to build them to!!

Thanks guys. It was a number of hours worth of work to keep it neat and organized and get it all wired. Must say I was surprised it all fired up right away and worked.

I recently popped one to Skreddy Mayo specs. Used the 2N2133s from Small Bear. My favorite muff is always the last one off my bench, but I REALLY did like that one.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the wiring.  That's a heck of a build.  I also like the scuba theme.

Very nice!

Thats one I've definitely been considering! Also the fire red fuzz muff. I'll have to check out those trannies. Never used them before.
I know what you mean about every build being a favorite. The VRH is never a let-down!
