  1. I'm trying to understand the difference to the big muff IC .
    Noticed ground is not specifically labelled. I suppose volume 1 is!

  2. This one uses 2 4558’s & has four stages, the opamp BMP has a 4558 & a 741 & has 3 stages. It’s also more bass heavy than the original opamp BMP?

    1. I noticed the IC difference, so one more stage for this pedal! Thanks for the info.

  3. Add ground to row R (under input) and I think it's all good.

  4. I'm probably in the minority here but the amount of low end this thing seems to have, from clips, was giving me anxiety. I also hate how harsh most IC Muffs sound. I can already tell that I would want to perhaps change the taper of the Tone control. If somebody builds and modifies it be sure to share your tweakssssss.

  5. @Tom. I can agree with you as far as the bass is pretty heavy. Although I find the 100k pot to give a nice range of tone. But yea, bass heavy for sure. You can verify this as well. Thanks for releasing this so fast!

  6. I look forward to seeing what tampering with the diodes will do. Ge, asymestrical, yadayada.

  7. Just realised the voltage dividers stages are being done on the same opamp (both sides of it) as opposed to the separate opamps. I assume that's going to be ok?
