Title: Bass fuzz/distortion
Post by: m-Kresol on January 09, 2014, 08:19:22 PM
Hey guys,
a friend of mine asked me, if I could build him a fuzz or distortion for his bass. Since his birthday is coming up, I thought that would be a nice gift. The question is, can I adapt a regular fuzz or distortion to work for bass or would a guitar pedal work anyways? What would I have to adjust (I guess caps mostly, right?)? Or is there a specific PCB/project available which I didn't find.
Thanks!

Green Russian fuzz or wooly mammoth fuzz sounds good stock. A klone sounds good if you change the caps. Jmk and byoc both make bass overdrives.

+1 for the Wooly Mammoth. Also known as a Sabertooth around here. You may want to get in touch with Haberdasher to have him etch one for you.
