converting effects for bass

[bal704]

I'm a bass player, working on effects that are mostly designed for guitarist.  Are there any good rules of thumb for converting a guitar effect to a bass effect?  One I've heard is to double the value of the capacitors in the audio signal path.  Is this correct, and are there any more good rules?

Hi.

As you may know, there are no "rules". What can sound very good to you, sometimes, it can sound like crap to others...
Anyway, there are "tips" that you can follow. One of them its that if you want to lower the freq. response of a circuit, you should raise the input cap value.Maybe doubling it, its enough Another critical point its the feedback loop. (Are you DIY? TRY!).

Many stompboxes designed for guitar-use, can be modified to suit your bass-needs, by doing those mods above. But a LOT of time its better (for me and my bas player) the stock version rather than the modified.
btw, in what cicuit are you workin??

Place a Doctor Q followed by a Big Muff, and be prepared to the floor`s shake!!!(you'll be amazed by the results

Well, thats all

I'm getting ready to start the BYOC chorus pedal, but the question was more general.  I'm pretty new to DIY, and I've seen various comments about optimizing an effect for bass.  Some appear to be specific to a given effect, others more general in nature.  I'm trying to learn as much as I can from forums like this.  Trial and error is a great teacher, but it's also expensive and time-consuming.  I'd like to learn as much as I can from other people's experiences.
