oh i just thought of something- i take it the DC in on the muff be a standard 9v boss type? the one on NYC muffs is really annoying.

Of course mate, I always use Lumberg 2.1mm centre negative boss style DC jacks. They're high quality.

jolly good. the jack i rigged up to power the NYC is about an inch long and prevents me putting another pedal on my board. bloody EHX and their silly supply inputs....

They appear to have realised that idosyncratic behaviour only gains you a certain level of charm, the newer stuff is all Boss Style and smaller cases, although they dropped a clanger in making the Nano Clone and Nano Muff Overdrive positive ground, and hence un daisy chainable with regular negative ground pedals. Clever EHX.
My Green Big Muff clone is identical electronically, but 1/4 the size of an original.

If I used PCBs I could fit it in a Hammond B case, but I use stripboard, so BB is as small as I can go with a circuit this complicated.

i'm sure that'll be fine. the annoying thing about the EHX ones is that because they're re-issues they've emulated the original casing- but it's half empty! it's just a waste of space for the sake of aesthetics. not that i'm against that in principle, but my current thirst for pedalboard expansion must be slaked. mind you, anything i add onto it will no doubt be taken off again in a month, but it's nice to have a play about now and again.
