A Ram's Head Muff and a '78 IC Muff - the tone control on the Ram's Head Muff is called Resonance because Tim is a fucking idiot

ITT: Mike hides the truth.


(he'd also put 'sustain' instead of 'distortion' on the green muffs, the fucking n00b)

You continue to impress Mike. If I get another MBM pedal i think I'll go for a custom decal. All 2 of mine are plain which I usually go for but these look sublime! My Dreambox looks well swanky tho!!

This is a seriously great sounding modified Big Muff circuit. Thinking of making it a standard line product.

Awesome looking pedal. I like the white mustang knobs best with the blue.

Neat builds. One question though- why do you still socket all the transistors? Is it habit?

I socket transistors that I select for sound.

Things like the MOSFET clippers in an OCD I don't.

The Box of Rock also can sometimes get FET failure if you plug in the wrong supply despite reverse polarity protection - hence I socket for my own good. People are idiots.

Is this the one with one less transistor and two diodes, then green muff? does it sound much different from the green, less distortion and more fuzzy?
