JD Sleep | Muff Fuzz (Transistorized) Anyone own an original electro-harmonix Muff Fuzz or ever built the Muff Fuzz shown in the upper right hand corner of the following link? EH" target="_blank">http://www.ee.ualberta.ca/~charro/cookbook/audio/guitar/ehbsters.gif">EH Boosters I know Mark Hammer has built one, since he warned me in advance that the clipping diodes should be connected to earth (ground), not the 9v+, as shown in the schematic. I built it last weekend and it actually sounds pretty decent with 1N34A diodes, however, it doesn't really get into the heavy clipping range that I expected it would, in fact it barely clips with 1N914s. Maybe I expected too much. Can anyone tell me how much distortion a known working unit puts out on full volume? I'm just wondering if I got it working up to standard or if I need to do some tweaking. I'm planning to post the details (with a layout) if anyone else (beginner) is interested in building one. JD |
