Watched a few videos and heard through the grapevine that these pedals are quite different from the NYC versions.
Cannot wait to get it through the post. :metal:good choice :thumb:

Hello, I own a Lil’ Big Muff and use it on my bass. I recently tried out the Bass Big Muff and before I had tried the Russian version. To be honest I really don’t like the was Russians sound on bass and since the Bass Big Muff is based on that one I didn’t buy it
So, I’m trying to mod my Lil’ BM to lat the clean signal go through mixed with the fuzz, but I can’t seem to find a diagram (Nor a way, for that matter) to do that.
Does anyone have any idea of what can I do to get that specific mod? A diagram or spoken word reply would be incredibly appreciatedYou cant do it, its just not that simple.
I mean its possible but considering you’re asking about it I would say its out of your depth. It requires the addition of a buffer(a whole other circuit) to the pedal, and the LBM is SMD and it will be very fiddly work even for someone that knows what they are doing.
Just buy the bass big muff.I don’t like the sound of it!! =S
I suppose the signal splitter they recomended up avobe is the way to go
Also, Ned: What is SMD? How can I create a buffer? I might not be able to put it inside the LBM, but I might as well make it externalFebruary 23, 2009 at 9:35 pm #93873Ned FlandersModeratorI don’t mean to offend you in any way but considering you are asking how to make a buffer/splitter and what SMD is I think its too technical for you to do. I hate working on SMD myself and I only ever do if its necessary. If you want a dry blend just get a bass big muff or something else. SMD is surface mount devices, they are tiny components about 3mm long and 1.5mm wide, you need a pretty powerful magnifying glass to read the values on them and perform any work on circuits that use SMD. The LBM is SMD and the PCB is double sided, its very cramped in there which makes work very fiddly and you need to be familiar with it and know exactly what you are doing or you will destroy your pedal, i’ve seen it happen time and time again.

April 15, 2009 at 9:06 pm #95714efe_gallagherMemberQuote:well you could split your signal prior to the LBM and make a simple mixer like this:you don’t have to make all 3 inputs, just two.
Question Question!! I’ve finally got a friend o’mine to do this for me, but I’m a bit confused… Since I’ts a pasive mixer will I be able to use it backwards? I mean, using the output jack as the input for my bass and the Inputs as AMP outputs or d’I have to bi-apm?
Sorry if this is confusing, but I’m sorta sleepy…April 16, 2009 at 12:10 am #95717Ned FlandersModeratorYes,it works both ways.
April 18, 2009 at 9:48 pm #95797andvari7ParticipantWhat would I have to do to my Black Russian to get a green Sovtek sound? I like Black Russian, since it’s readily available (and sounds good, and is literally built like a tank), but that green Sovtek sounds better. You mentioned a three resistor mod, but which resistors?
April 23, 2009 at 11:19 pm #96006efe_gallagherMemberQuote:Yes,it works both ways.Hey Jules, thanks for the answer. I got most of the materials, but my friend told me that since it’s a pasive splitter I’ll probably lose a lot of signal strenght. Is that true? Is there a way to make it active or something like that?
Also, d’you think you’d have any Schematics/Layouts/etc to a Boss LS-2 like A+B Looper? I realised that I’d need to do two signal splitters (One splitting and another re-uniting) since I own only one amp n_nU
Thanks in advance for all the attention spentApril 24, 2009 at 5:58 am #96016devnulljpParticipantQuote:Quote:Use this diagram, make all the changes in green. This is a NYC muff with a green sovtek muff tonestack.

Xotic make a looper with blend too, but it’s bigger and more expensive. SolidgoldFX make one too, but I haven’t tried it.
I got a VB-Jr for $60 used and have used it with a guitar mixing in a fuzztone. Works great and you won’t burn your fingers soldering…
May 9, 2009 at 11:48 am #96531turbaMemberDoes anyone know if it’s possible to conect this pedal to an electricity plug?
i was very surprised to see that it has no electricity socket, and I just hate using batteries.May 9, 2009 at 6:15 pm #96549nightravenMemberi used a battery clip converter which i got for cheap on ebay to power it from an adaptor

…and I’m sure that’s at least part of the reason so many battery doors get lost…

I can not get a bad setting on this thing ! -
