    You would be gainign anothe r big muff, which is always a good thing! :)

    but seriously, you’l get a sound that the other muffs just cant do. Its totally worth it IMO, I have 10 Big Muffs so you can never own too many IMO.

    You cant get them anymore.
    They used to be sold at small bear but all us big muff fanatics bought them all out!

    You may find them on ebay but i highly doubt it.

    I would just replace all three with some other cool knobs.

    BTW, these aren’t vintage pedals so I’m moving this thread to the tech and help section.

    In 15-16 years of playing I’ve had zero need for compressors.

    Whatever you get get the BMPTW and the original chasis small clone, the two best pedals IMO.

    There’s definitely something wrong with it as the small clone is such a pedal that even with the depth down the chorus is so noticeable you cant mistake it and this is definitely not normal for this pedal. I would do what EH man said or contact EHX.

    OK,so long as you know what you are doing! I often come across people online thinking they can just mod/make amps like a 9 volt pedal….you cant if you dont have the know how and this is the quickest way to just drop dead!
    So I’d rather say something to keep people from dying!

    That’s odds for ya!LOL
    An electro will normally go well before a ceramic cap. My Mustang still has the 50nF/50volt cermic tone cap it came with in 1966 and it still sounds great!

    No offense but if you need a wiring diagram and cant work from a schematic I wouldnt be fucking around with 110/240volts to tell you the truth! It can kill you easy!

    Maybe start with something under 24 volts to begin with!!!!

    I would just use two speakers and keep one for something else/spare cause all three will be 45 watts at 24 ohms, not really ideal for a guitar amplifier.

    After I just saw your other thread I posted a warnign and I will now post it here too:

    Its my experience with this pedal that there actually is zero volume drop…there is a perceived drop among some people but it doesn’t actually drop. i dont even perceive one!

    Peoples ears vary a lot,this has a lot to do with it.

    mind had a slight volume boost if anything, I used to turn the depth down and use it for solo’s, lol….. there was nothing even close to a drop and I’m sure it wasn’t my ears. :)

    The same can be said of smallstones. I have one that was made in 1978/79 and people complain of drops in modern ones and even complaints of a drop in vintage ones,mine doesn’t drop. i think some peoples ears perceive the sound difference, the effected signal, as a drop when its not,its a change but not a loss of volume itself. All the demo’s I’ve heard of a supposed drops on youtube, there actually has been zero loss of volume whatsoever.

    Its like how I’ve read posts where people say “my big muff is too quiet and I have the volume set to 9 o’clock” well….turn it up to 5 o’clock! Its not rocket science!

    LOL

    IMO,non true bypass big muffs sound like shit in bypass mode. of course it will work….if you do it right!

    I have diagrams in the mod pages thead in this forum on how to true bypass a couple different Sovtek versions,even using the original big silver switch(you loose the LED though but if you need an LED on a big muff you’re deaf).
    I was gonna make one true bypass with the big silver switch and an LED using thr millenium bypass system but TBH honest I cant be bothered making any more Big Mufff diagrams.

    here’s the one using the original sovtek switch,which doesnt have the same lug layout as a regular DPDT swich so the wiring is different but you wont find this switch on too many black Sovteks, especially not any made in the last ten? years.:

    And here’s the mod pages thread for true bypassing the more modern black versions with regular small switches:
    https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/117/

    And the diagram for the current black Sovtek:

    If you wire them together dont wire them in parallel,you’l want to wire them in series or the Ohms will be so low it will blow any amp you run thru them.

    Just two of them speakers in parallel is 2 Ohms which is too low and unuseable for guitar amps,most guitar amps run between 4 ohms and 16 ohms. but if you wire them in series two of them is 8 ohms and actually useable! Also the wattage of the amp running thru the speakers shjould be half the total speaker wattage.So if each speaker is 15watts,that is 30 watts at 8 ohms total (inseries) , you’l want your amp (the head) to be 15 watts with an output impedence of 8 ohms.

    Research guitar speaker ohms and series/parallel wiring before you go building anything/hooking it up etc.
