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.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

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.
