Hi along, if anyone is still reading in this post.
When you search for KT3102E, you will find KT3102G easily,
equivalents are BC547(BC549?), witch are also used in some later
Russian Muff`s. Take a look at
http://www.kitrae.net/music/big_muff_guts.html.I personaly do not prefer the 2N5088/89 transistors.
I own some DIY Muff projekts with swappable sockets
and i replaced the 2N5088 with BC547C or BC237B
to give them the mojo of old Russian Muff versions.gematherMemberThat was a good idea.
Now i stack some Big Muff into the Graphic Fuzz
with the slide control of the Fuzz down.
The other slide controls give me infinite
possibilities to create a good sound.gematherMemberThe problem is, i destroyed the original SMD resistor
while modifying on him.
The Deluxe Bass Muff is very warm and rich, when used with guitar.
My modified one, with unusual value on the resistor mentioned above,
is very agressive, but i like it a lot that way.gematherMemberAbove Effect Level 9 o clock, the pick noise was too loud.
I modded it, so you can use it with pick on guitar.
It gives more definition and bite to your playing.gematherMemberupdate:
I have to correct myself.
I did some easy mod to this pedal
near C12 to make it fit for guitar.
It is a red 333 capacitor.
Now you can handle it in a wide range.Isn´t it funny, that only one cap did the job?
Wished that Kerry King had such a pedal.
His new sound is somewhat wishy-washy.gematherMemberThis is was i learnd:
I am a fan of the Russian Muff.The Deluxe Bass Muff differs like the Bass Muff from
the Green Russian Muff circuit in the low pass filter resistor.
Original are 20kohm, the 2 Bass Muffs use 11,5kohm.I changed the 11,5kohm resistor to 20kohm by soldering
a 68kohm resistor parallel.Now i am almost done.

In a regular Big Muff, the low pass filter in the tone stack
is build by R8 and C8.The Bass Muff differs in R8 from the Green Russian Muff specs.
R8 is 11,5kohm instead of 20kohm in the original circuit.
I took a 68kohm resistor in parallel to R8.C8 was completely missin, so i took .01uF there.
Now my Bass Muff sounds almost similar to a Russian Muff.
I had some experiment with the emiter resistor of Q1, too.
gematherMemberMost important of all, no matter what Muff you play,
set any treble booster in front of it an let it roll.gematherMemberThis pedal drives me crazy. I am impressed.
It works also for guitar. It fits, when you
want to play fast riffs, palmutes and so.
It helps a lot the definition of your sound
and gives more bite in the highs.Like EHX pedals you can drive it almost freaky.
I play a Bird Treble Booster into a Big Muff Pi.
gematherMemberI was wondering too, i bought one yesterday.
Hope to get it soon.gematherMemberI eliminate the bass frequencies with the bird,
give it more nastyness with tho OD to use the
distortion of the Muff in the end.It is important to figure out, where the spot is, the signal breaks
at bias and volts pot. No other pedal gives me that effekt!
Mine has a NKT 275 white dot transistor. Cranked with a little his,
but needs a little more input gain.Yes, it is a slightly effekt, but it works for me.
Without the Germanium Od the sound is only superficial.I tried it with 75% at the volume pot of my aktive pickup
and it works as it supposed to be. I often play at lower volume settings…PS: I use a Z.Vex Super Hard On Booster with my Tonebender,
to give the distortion more edge. It also works well.gematherMemberHello,
they have germanium transistors, they are different.
I used to buy 2 of them to hold the nicer one…
My one works well in a signal chain as shown on the photo.
As you see, it is not cranked to the max.gematherMemberThis?
To find in better quality under “ehx bassbals mod” on google.gematherMemberMy last conclusion is a 1nF instead the 3.3nF.
It makes the Double Muff in the bass response
more like the Germanium Muff.February 10, 2014 at 8:06 pm in reply to: Make Bass Muff sound like Black Russian tall version, 6 screw #119681gematherMemberThis is my conclusion:
1kohm at R42,
restore highs, with the boost,
when bass is full engaged at the tone stack. -
