I've been waiting for this one for a while. I'm almost disappointed that it's confirmed my suspicions that it's an Opamp Big Muff with the clipping removed, a switch between the two tone controls and an Op amp swapped. Needless to say I'll be trying it this week
Swapping the single op-amp for a dual was a nice touch, since they used the extra output for buffered vref, so you don't have to to have two sets of resistors to bias like the original op amp muff. Simplifies the design, improves the circuit, and reduces the parts count.
In the UK and having a hard time finding a specific Type 2 DPDT. Lots of DPDT On-On-On to be found but none seem to specify their type; even checking the data sheets doesn't show the terminal connections in each position. Any advice or guidance on how to determine the "type" when looking? Cheers
Just wanted to offer some experience with this build having done two of them now and experienced the same issue. Basically, with the sustain pot between 80 and 100% I had a very present oscillation going on when not playing, on both builds. After some experimentation, I settled on putting a 42K resistor between lug 3 of the sustain pot and the board (or just before C9) if you've got space on your board. I came to that value by wiring a pot in the same place and adjusting it until the oscillation stopped, then measured the resistance which was 39K.
I have a JPTR big box version and a mini one, and I'd say mine still has a bit more gain than those two, but I know for a fact, the big box Warlow I have from JPTR uses 50K pots, rightly or wrongly!
Also, pretty sure the toggle switch I used was a type 1 and the bridge you make between lug 1 and 2 must sort that out. Anyone confirm?
Oh hell yeah

ReplyDeleteAgreed, I was disappointed after reading about it some time ago. Still interested though.

DeleteTag this one Anders, its pretty damn good!!
ReplyDeleteDammit Ian! You should be head elf in Satan's pedal workshop....err Santa's workshop, I was going to build this tonight. Foiled again!
DeleteLol!!! Its way to cold to go outside, may as well make a pedal or three
DeleteThis is a badass muff
ReplyDeleteagreed this thing rips. thanks for the upload!

Doesnt matter which one you buy mate, any would work

Ah, so did you just swap the wiring to the corresponding poles, if you happened to get a Type 1 when ordering?
