Need help modding pedalpcb snuffy fuzz for more treble

[Jrockpsycho]

Any ideas how to get more treble out of this pedal? Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

You have a bigmuff tone control there. Maybe you don't like that? It should sound like no mids and no bass at one extreme and no mids and no treble at the other.

Listen to the signal going in to the tone control (collector of Q2) and see if it is more to your liking. Bypassing the tone control should give you more of a fuzz face sound.

Maybe reducing C2, try like 1n, that will make a brighter signal at the input.

Make sure you don't have a solder bridge or other pilot error, that could mess up your eq also

Yeah I am not a fan of scooped mids, in fact I prefer extra mids. Maybe bypassing the EQ altogether is best in this case

Just make EQ pot -> 100k, C4 & C6 -> 3.3nF, R6 -> 12k and R7 -> 33k..
(and, of course, OUTPUT pot at least 100k..)

Or more generally, make C4 = C6 and R7 = R5 + R6..

An even better solution should be to ground C4 leg 1 (instead of connecting it to Q2 Collector) and simulate your EQ here: https://www.duncanamps.com/tsc/

Insert 20k as Zsrc and OUTPUT pot value as R4..

I presume what you wish for is something like below:



You can see that it's obtainable but in the cost of input - drive - output impedances "inpedance"..
( in the mean of 1:10 rule of thumb..)
