THANKS!!!
I finally solve my problem to choosing resistors and parts...

Great! And, I don't mean to discourage your interest in using carbon comps at all. Of course, use whatever you like. I do think you will be more satisfied NOT using them in this particular project, but there is no reason not to try some out in fuzzes, classic overdrives, or boosters, etc. Very high gain or very complex circuits, however, will tend to bring out the downside with those---lotsa noise.

I tend to think that a circuit that requires noisy parts to sound better is probably not finished being designed, anyway.

The value is not critical. It's just a little filtering for the PS. You can use whatever closest value you have, 22R, 47R, 100R will all work fine.

Thanks for the help...
I am thinking if carbon comp has more warm results to the tone and i am thinking to use this resistors in signal path to boneyard and to other places metal

They don't have a warmer sound. That's just some marketing BS you see from some pedal makers. "Warmth" is really just a term used to describe how much treble bleed there is in a given circuit. Too much and the effect is "dark", too little and it's "bright". But, if it's just right it will sound "warm". Whether or not you use carbon film, carbon comp or metal film to get that is of little consideration. Of course, this is just my opinion based only on my own experience.

However, I do urge you not to use carbon comps in a circuit like the "Boneyard". That's actually the worst possible one to use them in because of the ridiculous gain it has. All that gain + carbon comps = way way too much noise. Use metal film.

Carbon comps do not sound better at 9v, IMO. They are noisier and have terrible tolerance. That is not to say you shouldn't use them. I use them often for a little mojo or for fun. But, there is no "technical" reason to choose them over carbon film or metal film. And, if you are into building fuzzes that look like vintage pedals, sure, they are cool!

At high voltages, like with an amp, they seem to make more of a difference, so I've read.

If you had any of the V.3 (Max1044 only version) boards laying around I'd definitely love to get some more.  I found them to be perfect in rangemaster clones for getting a -9v power supply in a tiny spot.

I definitely don't have any of those.

I think I have some more. I'll check tomorrow morning and update the inventory.

Following the Mudbunny schematic, the problem likely resides with R3, R4, R5 and R6. A wrong value with any of those four could cause the problem you are experiencing (low output with the Sustain maxed).

Samples were a little on the short side

I like bunnies but I am a bit miffed now that I bought the old layout a month or two ago and this one is way better with Board mounted pots

Well, I can't help getting a bit better at this over time

Mr B, have you got any original MB boards left with the mid pot. I just need one more...

I'll take a look but I'm pretty sure they are all gone. I'll let you know.

You can still add the mid pot to this newer layout, if you don't use a PCB mounted pot for the Tone knob.

I think this might be the best layout I've done! Can't wait to get these made.

Welcome back! Where is your trippy toad avatar? THAT"S WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE.

Do you have one of the new invisible pt2399's

He used so much goop it opened an inter-dimensional portal.

My guess is lower R46 and R55. These are the mixing resistors for the output. Can't say for sure what values will be best, so socketing them might be a good idea. Maybe 68k for R46 and 82k for R55.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by louder? There's a dry mix control already on there which lets you mix the clean signal down as far as you like. You should be able to make the octave down louder this way...or did you mean something else?
