    I was wondering the same thing with my guitar rig. so I …
    hooked up all my pedals with cables, power supply and everything and measured the size that pedals took up on the floor with a tight layout; Also measure the height of your tallest pedal. Then go on the internet and do some hunting. You may not find the exact size, so you will have to go a little larger. Height was a concern for me because of my Green Muff. I recently bought a board /case off of ebay. So I’m waiting to get it in the mail. They said I can get my money back if I’m not satisfied. so what is there to lose.

    Thanks for the fast reply Ron!
    I will have to look into it more and try and figure it out.

    Hi efilho,

    May be you don’t hear any volume drop or more probably you put the “blend” knob below 10.
    This knob is a mix knob, as soon as you turn it clockwise you lower the dry level and upper the wet signal, thus you have a volume drop it’s logical.
    I have set the ‘blend’ knob between 9 and 10 and this is acceptable. Try to put it at noon or more and you’ll hear the difference. This is not a trouble on mine.
    Thanks for your post.

    Agreed.

    This issue is the same with mine. I keep the blend at 9 o clock – Delay at 12 – Feedback at 10:30 an it sounds pretty good for a slapbackish vibe. The volume loss makes it un usable in most situations with the pedal dialed past 10 on the blend. I still haven’t decided if I like it or will go back to using my Boss DD3.

    Thank you Ron, you are always helpful. I’m going to replace this cap and see what happens.

    Now I’m not sure which one is the output capacitor. Or how to figure it’s correct replacement. I am thinking it would be around the volume pots location. I’m guessing that it is the grey cylinder on the furthest left in photo 1. I’m hoping someone may be able to point it out in the photo. Thanks for your help.

    Also there is no ground wire running to the enclosure of the pedal. Could this also be the problem with the popping noise?

    Is there a way to test the value of the capacitors with a multimeter?

    So im guessing that it is the purple colored (in photo) cap next to the volume on the right side of the board.

    My next question is if it is a 0.1up is that the same as a .1 mf or .01 mf I’m not sure which to order.
    btw: I was going to get a ceramic cap.
    Please advise.

    Great Thanks Ron
    Now which one is it? Where is it located on the board? and where would be a good source to buy a new one from? (comparable to the oem) Thanks for the input I’m still trying to learn so bear with me.

    here are some photos of the project.

    Thanks Ron, Thats what I was thinking, but I was thrown off at the jumper wire from one end to the other on the footswitch.

    Any one got any leads to finding these Sovtek Green muff knobs?
    Any help would be awsome

    I like a nice mild distortion into a Green Russian Muff.
    Right now I’ve been using A Ibanez TS9 into the Muff
    I think a proco rat sounds good into the muff as well, it is just a little too modern sounding for my style. If you like a more traditional metal tone then check it out.

    I feel like a rule of thumb when combining dirt pedals is: a little goes a long way.
    Dial the gain down a little bit and the notes can cut through better and still rock a heavy distortion.

    July 1, 2010 at 7:58 pm in reply to: Big Muff – Where in the signal chain? #109929
    burnthogan

    My signal chain goes 1.Guitar – 2.Korg Pitch black Tuner – 3.Ibanez TS9 – 4. Green Russian Muff – 5.MXR Boost – 6.Mesa V-Twin Pre-amp – 7.Tube Head.

    I rarely use a clean tone with the band. We play our version of bluesy stoner metal. I like to use the muff as my main distortion and use the TS9 to add a little high end and grit when a song is starting to get amped up. Then I’ll use the boost to send it over the top. The Mesa V-Twin is an amazing pedal that really brings an amp to life. I use that on the clean tone and let the muff run my main distortion tone.

    I have tried a couple of pedals in front of the muff and I keep heading back to the tubescreamer. It adds a nice subtle drive and a little highs to cut through the mix.

    I have a tube king as well it was my main distortion pedal until I plugged the muff into a JCM800. The Tubeking through a JCM sounds too compressed for my tastes. I try to go for a big fuzzy tone, I like to still hear the notes not just noisy grind.
