Hey Guys,

I am trying to build 2 big muffs. A Triangle and a Rams Head Version.
I really want them to be close to the original versions for both.
I am planning on using the GGG Boards to build on ( I was told they would work)

I am working with this for the Triangle http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=62qldhd
This for the Rams head. http://www.pisotones.com/BigMuffPi/psst/BMP_versions.htm

There are a few parts that dont exist on those schematics and the GGG board has parts on places such as R23, R24...

I am also not sure what parts are best for the D1-D5 and Q1-Q5

I hope someone can help me figure out the proper part placement for these 2 versions.

Thanks for helping!

Matt

maybe the GGG board is designed to accomodate ALL versions of the big muff...

well, all diodes in the big muff are 4148 or 914's the trannies are any NPN with hfe near 400 like the 5088
for the ram's head, it says taht its PNP transistor and a little lower in gain. might be 5087 [PP version of 5088? ??? ]
Look at it this way- everyone rags on air guitar here because everyone can play guitar.  If we were on a lawn mower forum, air guitar would be okay and they would ridicule air mowing.
