The two position DIP switch is internal... you pick what tone you want there but the dpdt turns it all on or off. I just want the LED to indicate if it's on or off, not what part of the DIP switch is engaged.

There's a new 2020 mudbunny with a tone bypass. It's a part of the PCB:



I think this may be the way to do it... from Beavis audio:

Does that look right?

Does anyone know if there is a way to add an led to the dpdt tone wicker switch? I'm going to put mine on a footswitch and wanted to add an led so you'd know it's engaged from a distance.

Thanks I'm advance!

Will do...one pad came out when I removed a pot...i think i jumpered that one correctly.

Still, somethings not right. If the sustain isn't on a little bit you get no signal and the signal that comes through is ALL distorted and kind of gated.

Had a plan and just a little free time to mod an old mudbunny to civil war specs, change the tone stack for more mids, and switch out the transistors for low HFE ones.

Wouldn't you know it, I wreaked total havoc on the thing desoldering the old components! Had to order a new board from Brian today and will just start fresh.

Nothing really to add here... just venting. You have a plan and a limited amount of time and you think it's going to be exactly what you want and you just need to keep plugging away.

I think I can actually get the damaged board working, I'm just going to need to trace the signal from start to finish. And will want to do a remake anyway as it's a little frankenstined.

I have recently started using delay on bass. I have an old rebote that I've been using for just a short, "almost reverb but not reverb" type delay. It sounds a little digital to me, but is that a function of that short of a delay? If I used a more analog delay, would it sound more organic?

Thanks Zerro! So, it seems like I should be fine just adding a 10n to the legs of the 3n9. I'd rather not put another switch in here as the pedal already has a lot going on (blend and diode switch)-- and i think I'll only be playing it with the mid-boost.

Just resurfacing this from a mods thread that might be getting lost: https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=14898.0

I'm working on bringing an old muff back to life and would like to add a permanent mids boost mod. Referring to the image below, can I just put a 10nf cap on C10 to achieve this? Can I just solder the legs of a 10nf cap to the legs of the 3.9nf that is there? Or is there another way I want to go about this?

Thanks in advance!

Such an old thread! But I'm working on bringing an old muff back to life. Can I just put a 10nf cap on C10? Can I just solder the legs of 10nf cap to the legs of the 3.9nf that is there? I just want the mids boosted for this one.

What do you guys think of the rebote vs the aqua baby type delay. Does it actually sound that much better/organic? At least for my purposes of using it like a reverb/chorus? Worth building?

Is tone necessary, in your opinion, if you have the blend?

Hey all, just getting into using delay on bass guitar. Using it more as an extended reverb/straight non-wobbly chorus king of effect.

I have an old rebote delay that's been kicking around my bench forever and it ends up that it's great for bass with the blend and it's simplicity.

Is there anything out there better? I know this is a pretty old design. Also, any smaller versions?

After pricing out raw materials vs getting premade ones at Doc's Basement... I just bought the premade ones. Oh well!

What kind of cable are people using?

What did you order? Feels like their house brand pancake jacks are good. Any experience with them? https://www.redco.com/Redco-Right-Angle-Flat-TS.html
