Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff - transistor version

 Per request. The switch can be replaced with a tone control. Just omit 100k resistor at column 17 and replace the switch connections with the lugs of the 100k tone control.

    1. Cool! Let me know if you want the op amp version as well. Got a finished layout for it.

    2. Do you know what version of Big Muff this one is closest to? I'm curious if EHX just made it the same as whatever version was out at the time but with fewer pots to save a few bucks. I would definitely be interested in the op amp version!

    3. This one seems to be closest to a late era Rams Head from 1976-1977. It isn't an exact match but pretty close...

  3. Just got it build fired right up no problems.Pretty gritty sounding muff.I socketed the 100k resistor in row 17 too play with the tone I will probably go with something around 60k.Thanks for the layout Fuzzhead

  4. Built no issues. If you want a 3 way tome switch use a on off on and put a 51k resistor over switches 2 and 1. Middle position does halfway then.
