So apparently you can remove all the emitter resistors on a Big Muff

^ cheers man, yeah that'll be cool,

get it on breadboard and have a tinker with those Q3/Q4 collectors..

the emittters are fine just to ground anyway imo...so they don't need to  be switched.

i have a feeling that switching the collector resistors though may induce a pop,....not sure.

there is also the issue of volume drop, but altering the values on the last stage might sort that out..

i did briefly try that and it lifted it more......busy tthis week so i won't have any tinker time...but i'll get on it

as soon as i do...cheers guys.
