WTF Big Enuff? - Violet Edition

 Another distortion unit designed by Pedro (WTFiCanBuildMyOwnPedals). Here is his own words on his creation.

"This one will destroy many amps and eardrums. It is nothing new, just a marriage between a Big Muff and the Booster from the FZ-2 (pedalPCB's version) which has a very powerful EQ... and it sounds exactly like I imagined it. Anders was very helpful, as always, in putting a layout together when this came in conversation and after some developing here it is. Earlier versions had less pots and was just a fuzz, but this is the ultimate version in my opinion: no need to waste a perfectly good booster and why not have lots of controls to shape the texture of the fuzz? 

The DPDT switch (which I like to have on a footswitch) activates or bypasses the three gain stages of the BMP (LEVEL, GAIN) before hitting the booster (MASTER; BOOST, HIGH, LOW). Everything interacts pretty much with everything to create diverse and loud textures of fuzz with crazy sustain. This one is loosely based on a Violet Ram's Head, which is one of my favourite Muffs, but every version should work (a Russian version for bass was also built and sounds great)."
