why would you mod a triangle muff? arent they supposed to be awesome? i mean if you wanted a different sound wouldnt you just get a big muff that already had those kind of caps already in it? i dont understand that logic. i mean if youre modding high end roll off and things like that arent you changing the sound of it to suit your own personal tastes? since im all for that i dont truely understand why changing the op amps is any differnt. i mearly upgraded to a better and modern chip. the 741’s and 4558 arent known for being great sounding not to mention outdated by at least 40 years, which is why they arent ever used in high quaility audio gear.
smallcloneMemberim all for modding pedals. i wanna look into modding a boss ds-1 at some point but with the big muff. i didnt change the values of anything or make it have more gain or even anything like that because i wanted that big muff sound. i simply replaced old out dated IC chips with the best ones made today. the pedal still sounds like a big muff v5 just not as harsh and far more musical.
smallcloneMemberso i replaced the op amps with very high grade chips. the 741 is a single version chip so i put a opa627 in it and a opa2627 (super chip) dual op amp to replace the 4558. let me just say, OMFG!!! i dont know what a really good big muff should sound like but i bet its a bit like this. im going to try and post some clips soon.
smallcloneMemberso i got the v5 yesterday and it sounded JUST like SD!!!! i mean JUST like it!!
sadly, i liked the v6 better HA! the lovely chords, just dont sound quite as lovely with the op amps in there.
i couldnt help it but i opened the sucker to find 1 4558 chip and 1 741 chip. weird thing was i thought it took two dual opamp 4558 chips but looks like it has a single opamp as well. (741)
smallcloneMemberi really enjoyed the sound of it too. it was very round sounding and like i said chords, just really sounded quite nice.
but honestly, i thought this was the best sounding big muff.
smallcloneMemberYES!!!! hook them all up at once!!!
smallcloneMemberlooks like a few v5’s on ebay right now. one with a 3003 printed board kinda cool.
smallcloneMemberhey. i ended up getting that v5, i wanted the SD sound plus that huge explosion of the tone bypass. but i have a feeling i might try to get another vintage muff down the line. i think ive been bitten by the big muff bug!
smallcloneMemberthere are a few other bands i like that have that HUGE HUGE sound, and i thought it was only with the opamp version. im gonna try out the v6 muff a bit more and if i get it, ill post a few pics of it.
any opinions on the Wicker big muff???
smallcloneMemberawesome, thank you. i havent been able to even locate a v4 or v5 muff let alone a v3. i really wanted to try out that huge crazy sound i heard the v5’s have with the tone bypass.
smallcloneMemberi was surprised how good it sounded but i was looking for the Corgan sound honestly. but ive never seen a vintage muff and was REALLy tempted.
