I love how the only consistent part of every Ram's Head Muff on the market, including EHX's own, is the tone stack, and the rest of the values are all just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cLoSe EnOuGh. Just how Mike Matthews himself used to do it!
this one is really similar to the Double Gold Anniversary Big Muff that came out earlier in the year, at first glance, the only difference is the collector resistor on Q4 is 12k on this instead of 13k on the Double Gold, and missing a 62R on the power in prior to the cap. Neither of which would really effect the sound. I would recommend building this with 549Cs though instead of the 547Bs, most 547Bs i've come across are around 300hFe, and with the 560K collector/base resistors, I find it biases a lot better with something in the 525hFe range

ReplyDeleteAnyone build this/verify yet?
