MODIFIED PEDALS - Big Muff, Crybaby Wah, Electro Harmonix Micro Synthesizer

[otporan]

0:28.. thats the sound im trying to get.. i have a fender jaguar and a cheap roland dac 80d..

i will change the bridge pickup to a humbucker (single coil case).. can u suggest some? right now i have the possibility to get a dimarzio tone zone or a dimarzio pro track..

and for the rest i need to get a wah pedal and a big muff? thanks

is the cry baby a regular cry baby (ie doesnt have the fasel inductor)

[eyeprod]

it's a regular crybaby with a halo inductor added and various other mods I've done to make it more useable for me.

What do the Germaniums do to your muff and how do you change them??

[eyeprod]

Those are diodes. The Big muff has 2 pairs of diodes inside that you can change. The germainuim diodes are less compressed sounding to me. I'm no expert at describing these things, but after experimenting I settled on one pair of germainuims and the other pair is stock I believe. That's all I know off hand

[costaricangeneral]

its seems like that the tone circuit on the big muff over rides a lot of what amp eq and the guitars tone pot does... is that why u removed it

[eyeprod]

pretty much yes. I also hate the mid scoop on the muff

[X3MUSEWOOO]

yeah im having that problem with mine

if i have the mid scoop select turned on on my amp (im using a fender rumble 100 stereo) it cuts out alot of the volume.

i find it cuts out alot of bottom anyway though =/

still nice sounding though =)

the pot on my russian big muff just broke by any chance do you know what kind to use to replace it

[eyeprod]

I think they are 100k pots. you can find a schematic online and it will show you

hows that small stone mini compared to the regular one?

[eyeprod]

I liked it better than my regular small stone. Sold the other. They do sound a little different. The small footprint, 9v boss adaptor, and rugged build is what really sold me on the nano. the other one was just fine except for those things

[AcrossTheTen]

in what regards do they sound different? The size and 9v is whats making me lean toward it too :-P

[eyeprod]

the sweep is different. Similar sound, just not exactly the same. It doesn't sound as vintage-y as the regular small stone

[AcrossTheTen]

your demos are kick ass, I'm looking forward to much more.
