*** Do you have a LM741, a couple of LEDs and some caps and resistors? ***

I bet you have a 741, some leds and the other parts in your boxes



Any similarity with a Bazz Fuss is just coincidence!!!

Sound sample soon, when I return home because I'm in Buenos Aires right now to see AC/DC in concert tomorrow night.

Looks good!!!

What about the concert?

[Ice-9]

How was the DC gig. Iv'e bumped into Brian Johnson a few times in dunston club in gateshead Uk.  He is a local lad, and he is a good easy  to chat to bloke.

Please give us a sound sample on bass if possible, so i can see if i have to add ANOTHER build to my list...

[mac]

What did you say? I cant hear you, ac/dc concert was very loooooouuuud!!!

That looks a lot like one I drew up a few months ago:

I recorded a quick demo,

Sounds similar to a Bazz Fuss... it's almost the same thing.

Wow Mac that sounds like all your stuff >  FREAKIN AWESOME
Now I have to build one of these too 

[Brymus]

Isnt there a way to make a reverse log from a higher value pot and a resistor ? I forget.

[John Lyons]

Was the clip with the gain maxed?

Great crunch. Not as loose as Bazz Fuss, in my opinion... what amp was that?

[mac]

John, Brymus,
guitar to breadboard to laney lc30 hh speaker to dell mini mic (at 1/2 metre, 45 degrees... i almost stepped on it )
the thing almost at max and at unity level, amp clean channel at 4, bass 5, mid 3, treble 6, reverb 2. ah, aged strings 

silicon diodes and a bigger feedback resistor (3m3, 4m7) can increase gain.

it sounds tighter than a regular bazz fuss, because BF bias depends a lot on hfe. I have to record a sample of my modded BF which includes a base resistor to help the diode.

IMHO, BF, a big muff clipping stage, Arsenio Novo and this one sound similar.
