Nice set of links that will come in handy, I’m sure.  The Big Muff link doesn’t work because of the space so just copy and paste it.

Yeah, sorry about the Big Muff link, anybody know how to fix it?  I’ve tried copying and pasting or typing it in.

Nice links, thanks. I’ll especially be taking a closer look at the Small Stone ones.

By the way, for posting a link with a space in it, it works if you wrap URL-tags around the link, like so:
http://www.student.ru.nl/r.kerkhof/Taas/Mods/Big Muff.htm

Press the quote button next to my post if you want to see what it looks like.

Alternatively you can do the same by pressing the <a> button in the row of buttons over the textfield where you write posts.

Small Clone ‘Tremolo Chorus’ and vibrato mods: http://experimentalistsanonymous.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=81&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

i did this a long time ago on my Small Clone and it’s really cool.

i used a toggle switch to engage the tremolo mode and added a 5k pot for a (tremolo) depth control.

i also did the vibrato mod (which is discussed in the above link); it is definately the 22k resistor which needs to be disconnected to get the vibrato (not the 33k resistor which the above article initially states).

How to add a Carrier Signal in to a frequency analyzer (he calls it a CV in, which is misleading, because CV ins usually refer to expression pedal ins, which this is not)

Resistor Mod for Big Muff Pi.

I know most people increase the resistors as part of the Creamy Dreamy mod.  Does anybody know what value to replace them with?  Thanks,

Hey all!

Great to see that my Big Muff mods page is used for some good sounds!

In the creamy dreamer those resistors were enlarged to 15k

On freestompboxes the story of the Creamy Dreamer was told; Billy never owned one; he played one as the “inventer” asked him to. He liked it but not loved it. He hate the fact his name is connected to this pedal!

So I actually done the tone bypass mod I put together the other day, I had only tried it on a fuzz face big muff hybrid I built and it had good results, but on the big muff its even better, if you do this mod there’s no way you will complain about a lack of volume anymore, it now passes unity at about 10-11 o/clock. While in tone bypass mode its very reminiscent of the IC big muff I have, still unmistakeably a big muff just with a flatter EQ as opposed to a scooped one. Over all its an excellent mod, I recommend doing it. Anyone one with a soldering iron can do it, takes about ten minutes and is a very basic mod for beginners, I highly recommend it. :rawk:

Sorry, the “Creamy Dreamer” story was told first and fully at “DIYstompboxes” forum,
but you`ll have to register at: “DIYstompboxesforum” before being able to view the “Lounge”...

And yet people refuse to believe it, they still think B.Corgan used one of these CD BMP’s.
