its 4:30 in the morn and i'm super fucking hungry right now. i wonder if i can get close to fu manchus sound with the big muff.come on.

is it just me or did i hear a little bit of phase in the beginning?

[Devin Reilly]

wow, this really sounds like the "heavy-voodoo-blues" tone that jack white gets.

Actually it bypasses the tone "stack" not just the tone knob. Just search forums or google big muff mod, and find the one that suits what you want it to do, and make sure your model is correct. There are lots of pics even showing you exactly what to connect to what, or what components to replace. Either that or buy the new Tone Wicker model.

The "tome bypass" does what it says - it bypasses the tone knob on the Big Muff. The tone section is the part of the circuit that contributes to the "scooped" sound typical of the Big Muff. If you're looking for a little more mids then that sounds like the kind of thing you're looking for.

what does the tone bypass do exactly? I'm trying to get more mids from my big muff but I don't know exactly wich mod I should do

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

sounds more like the fourth version op amp muff from the late 70s/early 80s

well ... page amp was 200watts loud, so I guess it would be difficult to really crank it
