Grind Customs FX Ultra '78

 Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! Here's a cool take on the IC Big Muff by JuanSolo and Grind Customs. It's essentially the '78 IC Big Muff with the tone bypass switch with the tone stack from the Ultrastoner. Should be able to squeeze it into a 1590B.

  4. Hi! In order to use this in bass, I'll try to do this but adding a blend (split&blend) control. I'll try to triple the capacitors value to increase some bass frequencies and see what happens ;) I'm doing these days some desings, is there any possibility to send these to administrators or something like that. Stuff like OmniCab Simulator, Theremin Fuzz. Anyone interested?

    1. I've found that, with fuzz, things get muddy if the input cap is increased.

    2. The tone just needs more bass with these kind of fuzz, blend control mandatory also. Did you tried this yet? Any improvement with bass guitar changing cap values? Cheers!!

  5. Howdy! I built it, and it sounds really good, but I'm wondering what could be done to increase the volume of it? I can't find the schematic...anyone have it? Thanks friends!

    1. I put a LPB1 in after it, and now it's plenty loud and unruly. Good times!
