can you fit a green muff in a hammond b box like tim is doing?
looking into replacing my usa muff due to it's massive size and inability to bring the volume

Possibly but to be honest you're best buying off Tim, his prices are good and I'm sure his work is excellent.

want to see pics!
i can definitely attest to the awesomeness of mike's pedals. i found a great use for the twat box. i layered a three part little line as a break/hook in a song i'm doing that's a pseudo-rage against the machine song. but our's is about just being part of the status quo and not causing a big ruckus.

I think this is the best looking pedal you've done. Looks great.

i'll bounce the clips later today and uploadz0rz. it was pretty awesome. i did like single note lines to create some harmony, with the Fuzz (FUCK) cranked up 100% and the Bias (Cunt) set to like 15% and i bent the notes as i played them on my gretsch...then i layered just a normal power chord run underneath that played the root chords. i don't know how RATM it sounds...lol. but like it.

Sounds awesome. Definitely keen to hear.
Thanks James. I like to think I'm making some aesthetic progress but it's definitely not my strongest suit.
I think the Johnny Octave has a bunch of small transformers in it which could be a pain

Thanks guys. I think the fact I've found another source of Mustang knobs might help. I also have some black versions of the "pointer" knobs I've put on some stuff that I like.

Haze I shipped your pedal yesterday mate. Airmail!
Dots your pedal is DONE'D.
Tell me which knobs (LOLZ) you like the best.
The finish isn't perfect unfortunately, you can see a paint/lacquer run next to teh MODDED MUFF decal on teh right and there is another to the left of the footswitch, however it's nothing major, it's just really hard to spray at this time of the year since I have to do it outside in temperatures below zero. I was risking the wrath of the missus bringing the case in to cure because it stinks out the Spare room but I did all I could for it. I'm elated with how it sounds, the Mids control controls how much the Mids are Scooped, all the way left is a mid boost, around 1 o clock is stock and further right is massive scoopage. Diode switch up to stock which is more saturated and down is LEDs which is more open, overdrivey and louder. This pedal is awesome.

sweet! i think the boss style knobs suit it better, though the mustang version is pretty top, too. can't wait to try it out!

I can't believe I started explaining how a Big Muff works. I'm such a nerd.

astounding. mike's not only the king of pedal building, but he's the demo master 'round these parts. loved the quick schematic you drew up!
