Big Muff with Tone Wicker

[jchuck836]

Does any body know what the new "Wicker" mod is?

I'm not exactly answering your question but I would imagine a workalike could be achieved by using a switch between the first clean boost stage of a standard BM and a treble booster (rangemaster?) for the wicker mod and the tone bypass is fairly simple, if you need more info for the bypass check out the amz-fx site.

It's funny, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there about the "tone wicker".  Who comes up with these names BTW?  They must not have a drug testing program at EHX is all I can guess.

I did read somewhere that the "wicker" part just consists of lifting the 3 470pf caps using a 3PDT switch. 

The only place I found any info was here:  http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=2399287

Is any other info available?

What ever it is they are using a 4066 for the wicker switching or something.

BTW, it uses 4 BC550C trannies.

I was reading an interview with Mike Matthews somewhere (cant find it, sorry) and he pretty much said this is what the wicker switch does.

I've done the mod to my muff, and it sounds great!

It's interesting to see that they label all of the components with values right on the board.  From what I have seen that is very rare.  Most SMD boards I've looked at don't have the values and the SMD caps have no visible codes.  It's almost like they are saying "go ahead, try to make your own".
