Mr.Grim, I wonder if your pedal has a bunch of dead caps? have you changed the electrolytics?
Although it’snot an intense wah.
My fave is the Qtron though — does a pretty good Mutron.

The Bee Gee is the forgotten ugly little sister of the Bee Baa AF-100 and the Double Beat AD-50. Less low end than the other two, or something truly evil like an AceTone FM2 or 3. More like a Tone Bendery kinda sound than the all out nuclear assault of its big sisters. That said, they do have a following and you scored pretty well: you got rid of that fugly guitar and got a 1977 Phase 45 and a BeeGee…
Excellent. Congratulations on a good find.

Replacing the electrolytics in something that old wouldn’t hurt, especially if its been sitting unused for a while they can dry out. I’ve revived a few old muffs that way … it’ll take you 10 min and cost you a dollar. I’d give it a go.

Yes it’s got the 1x10uF and 3x1uF that you like…
It’s the tightest sounding Mike’s Head I’ve heard yet. The PNPs are pretty unusual — this is the first I’ve seen in the flesh — although I know a guy with a triangle with PNP FS36000 trannies. Those can get pretty pricey.

I was just surprised — went into it thinking it was an OK deal on a BC239C Mike’s Head, and I could probably flip it if I didn’t like it, and then this. Fantastic Muff.

Nice Green Russian! (So, what was wrong with it in the guy wanted you to fix …?)
The flaky paint thing is really common with those. Dave Main of DAM has one that looks like it’s been in a war.

Oh, and r/lam‘s head? I vote we start calling it the Mike’s Head Muff — it’s his nose for sure

Yes there is a noise floor in that pedal. Most high gain pedals have some sort of noise — it varies but my BMPTW is noisy. Does it go away any when you turn down the gain?

DMM has 4x MN3008 or 2x MN3005 chips for 8000 stages to get you up to 400 ms delay time, so I think what you’re hearing is normal. Futsing with the trimmers might squeeze out another bit of delay time but it will degrade your signal for sure and it can be hard to recalibrate properly without a scope. I have an old Tokai BBD delay here that someone messed with and it’s taken me ages of fiddling to get a semi-acceptable sound back out of it. If you want longer delay times, sell the DMM and buy something else like an analogue voiced digital delay.

The first Guild Foxey Ladies were rebranded Mosrite Fuzzrites built by Ed Sanner, but Mosrite went under so Mike Matthew picked up the deal and Guild rebranded the Axis Fuzz, which was the first EHX pedal in 1968. When they developed the big muff, Guild rebranded those as the Foxey Lady, so there’s a triangle Foxey Lady (my white whale…) and a ram’s head FL, both of which are rebranded muffs. So yes the one on the left in my pic isn’t EHX, it’s a Mosrite. The other two are though. Ron and Kit both have loads of more accurate info on their sites though…
