Looking good!

PedalPCB's waste of space is a mystery to me, though. A booster with just a handful of parts, and you'd hardly get it in a 1590B enclosure.

Necro bump.

Gibson is now suing Mojo Hand FX over the name "Mister O" phaser, which could be mistaken for "Maestro".

Open Discussion / Need help with Muff diagram / Mojo Hand Colossus

« on: March 11, 2021, 05:58:59 AM »

Dear forum,

I don't feel confident enough with my diagram reading skills, any help would be appreciated.
A friend asked me to build a Mojo Hand Colossus (=a variant of a Russian Muff with mids control and an input cap switch), he had an original years ago.
I can't find a PCB for it, but I have a Fuzzdog BMP board that should do fine: https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Big_Muff_Pi/p847124_20010593.aspx
The schematic is in the BOM on page 3: http://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/BMP2018.pdf

The Colossus schematic is on the Kit Rae Muff page: http://www.bigmuffpage.com/Big_Muff_Pi_versions_schematics_part4.html:



The question is (parts numbers are different):
How do I match this bit from the Kit Rae schematic

with this bit from the Fuzzdog schematic


Where does Kit Rae's C14 go on the PCB??
Kit Rae's C9 is parallel to the Mids pot, Fuzzdog's C10 is before the pot??
The Colossus uses much larger values around the Mids pot than other Muffs with a Mids pot (Musket, Hoof; see Fuzzdog doc for those). Is there something wrong?
This is beyond me, I'm sorry.

Thank you!!!!

Here's what I came up with matching the Kit Rae diagram with the Fuzzdog diagram for use on the PCB (The parts numbers are for the PCB, Kit Rae has different numbers). I think I have it all except for the parts around the Mids knob parts mentioned above:

R1 33k
R2 100k
R3 470k
R4 140R
R5 12k
R7 1k

R10 470k
R11 12k
R12 390R
R13 10k
R14 390R
R15 470k
R16 100k
R17 12k
R18 47k ??
R19 10k ??
R21 100k
R22 470k
R23 2k
R24 10k
R25 1M
(no R6 and R20 on PCB)

Hmmm... just checked out the JMK schematic and it uses the CA3080 instead of LM13700 that you have and it's only listing the two controls.
Will have to do some more checking up on what's floating around there, thanks for quick reply!

Isn't the inventor's schematic the proper official one?

Here's another PCB with a schematic in the build doc:

Blackheart Little Giant ... even managed to hold onto two 1x10 matching cabinets. Currently unmodified and I may well keep it that way. I don't particularly feel the need to carve this amp up to make it "better"

Mine too, it's a great amp.
