Dr boogey excessive bass , what ideal voltages?

[ANDYEFFECT]

My dr boogey has great distortion (pot is with 500k), and even when excessive bass pot 1, voltages of q1 the q5 all 4.5v, which would be ideal for voltages less severe (bass) in the sound.
Q1 =?
Q2 =?
Q3 =?
Q4 =?
Q5 =?

The Bias won't have much (any) effect on the bass.
A good place to set the bias is between 4.5v and 6v. Higher voltage will be a little cleaner.
Check to make sure that you don't have a misread cap. It's possible that you have a cap that is to high in value.
This will make the pedal sound dark because it's removing too much treble, which would sound like too much bass.
I'd look at either the cap across the trim pot (should be .005) or the caps in the tone section.

In a sense you're right it is about the voltage, because V = IR

However, the 4.5V to 6V input voltage is plain DC and does not bear any relation to the frequency of the alternating current which is driving the output. The reactance of different capacitors depends on the capacitor's capacitance and the frequency of the alternating current (the sound signal). Depending on their configuration within a circuit, the capacitor will roll off either high frequencies or low. So you need to double check the values of all capacitors and resistors in the circuit.
