Pedal Build: Big Muff Pi – Update

It’s done! This is an EHX big muff – 73 Ram’s Head Clone. I used the pcb from GeneralGuitarGadgets.com and the parts from MammothElectronics.com

To be honest, this pedal has been done for a while. I was just waiting on the Hello Kitty stickers. I made it all pink with the stickers as a tribute to my old hello kitty guitar, which I originally purchased 10 years ago. I thought it was hilarious to play hardcore shows with it. Here’s a few photos from the “good ol days”.

Pedal Build: Big Muff Pi – Clone/Salvage

So I’ve had a Reissued Big Muff pedal for a while now. I seldom used it. I got tired of the tone of it and I never liked how much space it took up on my pedal board. So I thought i could salvage the parts from it and throw it into a smaller case. I bought the pcb from General Guitar Gadgets and I used their new schematic/version of resistors and capacitors.

I was able to transfer all of the Diodes and Transistors. Then I used about half of the original resistors. As for the capacitors and the rest of the resistors I ordered from MammothElectronics.com.

It works! but it still needs knobs.
