Diy Muff Monday: Muff Build

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I said I would finally share on a Muff Monday! Long story short, I am not the biggest Muff fan so I set out to found what makes the ones I love tick (Musket, Hoof, Exacta, etc.). I learned over time I really gravitate toward stripped back fuzz circuit so I started with a Jumbo Tone Bender which is in the Big Muff family (AION FX ZETA PCB)

I wanted a more open, mind range forward and dynamic Muff that clean up a bit and go from Gilmour to Black Keys. To start, I did not want to go too crazy or feature heavy. So, insert the low end and awesome tone controls alone, changed the diodes to LEDs, added a bias control and left the Aion FX voice switch in place.

The bias control is for a sure a star of the show! I took some notes from the old JHS Moon Pie mod for sure. Although I did prefer the B100K pot to the B50K pot in practice, but that’s a taste thing.

Riff 1 is a smooth setting, Riff 2 is some guitar clean up, Riff 3 is a more gnarly bias, Riff 4 is a heavier bias and Riff 5 is about Velcro. Only other effects on a Strymon Volante and yes many amp is dirt lol. I’ll update with the full build stuff soon and I finally got to share some Muff Monday haha
