DIY Big Muff Pi
Posted: June 29, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Effects 5 Comments »Just did my second build of a buildyourownclone.com pedal kit. It’s a BigMuffPi this time to the original specs! I’ll send some pics along the way and some recording too. Here’s the online shootout of the clone vs. the real deal. I sold my vinty along time ago… sorta kicked myself afterwards, of course, but it was a late seventies model, not the true mike matthews special… man this thing rips, and it’s true bypass… mean and clean. My soldering skills are getting better, but I screwed up the led light… oh well, now it’s the real deal. My first byoc kit I built was a clone of the tonebender mkII… a little too heavy for my taste, but I had to check it out…
There we go… doesn’t have that 70s mojo… who really cares… and who’s lookin?! I kinda like the idea of someone taking a look at your pedal rig and having absolutely no idea whats going on. just a bunch of unfinished boxes.
*salivating* – that is TONE! Well done, sir. Now, about that clonebender – if you are looking to lighten your gear load, perhaps we should talk… I could use a delaruss original.
DELARUSS! ON THE BLOG, BABY.
You know, some Supafrenz popped up on my iPhone last night – the Buddy Guy gig. Shit sounds nice! After all these years!
I just categorized this post under “effects.” Blog micromanagement. It’s 10:15pm! Must get off computer!
yep… i forgot to check the category box… sweet. hammer… the clonebender’s all yours. email me your address, i’ll send it your way. i don’t use it at all… and i have a feeling that thing was meant for gibsons!
