jaydentaku Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hello I have had a search, but not found an answer to question. Does anybody have the instructions on turning a big muff usa into a big muff for bass? Or, what mod can I make to stop my sound getting lost in the mix at gig volume? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Try using a clean blend using something like a BOSS LS-2 or by getting a Muff modded with one, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG Flatline Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1339008029' post='1682422'] Try using a clean blend using something like a BOSS LS-2 or by getting a Muff modded with one, [/quote] Clean blend is what you're after here. The LS-2 is the quick easy route, and having an LS-2 to hand is never a bad thing as they are a proper swiss army knife. If you fancy a project you could look at modding your Muff by adding a blender like the Buff'n'Blend, Paralooper or B.Blender relatively easily. Buff'n'Blend is the easiest and requires the least amount of room and performs perfectly well. I have a Big Muff blended this way and it sounds mint, far better to my ears than the Bass Big Muff I had previously. Good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 More mids will help, but adding some of the clean signal back in will be a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydentaku Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 great, can anybody point me in the direction of information on this and some wiring guides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG Flatline Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 [IMG]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j6/tgflatline/BuffNBlend.gif[/IMG] That's from [url="http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/blocksfragments/"]http://www.beavisaudio.com/techpages/blocksfragments/[/url] Remove R4, you simply use the Volume on your Big Muff to control the level. Depending on which Big Muff you have, you won't need R5 either, but it's not something you need to worry about particularly. You need to cut the wire that goes from your bypass switch to the input of your Big Muff circuit, and connect it to the input of the BuffnBlend instead. The Effect Send connects to the input of the Big Muff. Cut the wire that runs from the output of the Big Muff circuit to the bypass switch - attach the Big Muff output to the Effect Return, and the BuffnBlend output to the bypass switch. I haven't got a vero layout to hand, but it's simple enough to draw again so I'll do it when I get back to work tomorrow (very busy obviously!)
