Title: Got bored, building a bass. Need pedal recommendations
Post by: phreek on February 05, 2026, 06:10:57 PM
Sup gang! It's been a minute.

Firstly, WTF happened to BYOC?!

Nextly, is there a bass muff layout somewhere? Also, what bass pedals are you rocking? Gonna be looking for ideas for more sludgy, doom-esque kind of affair.

Whatcha got?

Sadly byoc has closed up shop. Had a final sale end of 2024. Don't recall the reasons.

I have a mbp Promenade in my build queue. I wonder of aleph null's Otolith could be optimized for bass (maybe just cap values?) That's a very versatile beast and can do super sludgy to punchy.

I think the BYOC schematics are linked  by someone over on pedalpcb.

Here's a while thread on the Sun on FSB. There's a vero layout, on page 2. I don't read much past that.
