well shoot……….where are you? haha
octa805MemberOk, I checked it all out and found it here: http://www.cubisteffects.com/2009/08/t-34-big-muff-bass-mod/
Not to take away from the mod at all but it really looks similar to the peptone one as far as the bais hardware changes and the basic mid mod. Not sure I’d really even want all the other crazy optional stuff.
T-34 BIG MUFF BASS MOD
The T-34 Big Muff Bass Mod involves three hardware changes:
1. TRUE BYPASS — The pedal will have a 3PDT switch installed for true bypass.
2. DC POWER JACK — The stock 1.35mm DC power jack will be removed for the industry standard “Boss-style” 2.5mm DC jack. This allows daisy chaining a multiple pedal setup easier.
3. LED — The stock LED is replaced with a high quality, superbright, waterclear red LED.Two more mods are also included. These mods have become legendary in the DIY community and are the handiwork of Jack Orman.
1. TONE BYPASS — A toggle switch is wired to the Tone circuit of the pedal and allows the choice of having the Tone circuit ON or OFF. This switch was found on the late 70′s Op-Amp Big Muff. By bypassing (or turning OFF) the Tone circuit, the pedal has an additional +6dB output. Using this in the bass mod, the tone sounds a touch brighter or has increased treble. It has a great raw fuzz sound that is great on bass. As the Sustain is increased, the attack gets more loose and Fender Blender-esque tones can be achieved.
2. MID CONTROL MOD – By altering the tone circuit, a pot can be used to control the amount of mids. This provides a better standing in the mix if turned up, or can provide a cut if turned down. Like the Tone Bypass, it alters the original sound of the pedal but does provide more flexibility and ability to achieve a different tone.
NOTE: The Tone and Mids Control pot will not function when the Tone Bypass mod is engaged as it has been…bypassed.octa805Memberwow, thanks for that. Cubist effects looks awesome. Cruising through their site it looks the big muff mod they have is only for bass. Am I missing something or will they just do one-off requests?
octa805MemberI am in the US. I’m googling all around and not having too much luck. Eh, I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Happy Thanksgiving!
octa805MemberI agree. You know of another place that you can send your muff to get modded so that you can have some increased mid controls for a better price?
octa805Memberthanks for the review. I have to admit, they do make it look very pretty but the sound clips on the Sovtek modded version aren’t really outstandingly different, especially for the money
my ability/knowledge of actual soldering and circuitboards is zero and will likely stay that way but thanks again.

What do you need the three overdrive/distortions for?
why not? they all sound totally different. I started with the blues driver which is great, then added the Big Muff which is of course ridiculously fuzzy and sounds nothing like the blues driver and just got the metal muff on a great deal and it sounds totally unlike either of them.
Do we NEED any pedals? Not really. They are just lots of fun

octa805Memberit’s pretty sweet if you don’t expect it to be a huge stand-alone effect. If you are running a big muff or something else into it the xo worm is great. It’s almost like an effect for your effects IMO.
octa805MemberOk, so who can help me here and let me know what on this list is digital and what is analog?
Also, just for my own understanding, why would putting analog on one power source and digital on another clean things up? Thanks everyone and forgive my tardation.
Boss rc-2-digital?
boss blues driver-analog
ehx xo worm-???
exh se mistress-digital?
ehx micro metal muff
big muff pi-analog
dunlop crybaby wah-????octa805MemberYes, I’m using a one spot. I’ll give that a try. Hmm. Trying to think if I know everything on my board that is digital.
everything boss and the electric mistress are digital right? dunlop crybaby?
big muff, metal muff and xo worm are analog? that correct?
octa805MemberOk, got the stereo electric mistress today. thing is awesome! so many weird things you can do. I love it.
Putting it after the worm seems ok for now. But any other tips would be welcome
