General Guitar Gadgets Big Muff Help

[mattpas]

I am currently populating the Green Russian version of the Big Muff and noticed that on the Layout for R24 it says 10k but the Bill of Materials says that it is 12k.
Anyone know which one it should be?

  Use what you have there...
  BMP's used 10k - 12k in the collector bias resistor positions.

Plus keep in mind 5% tolerance, would bring you to about a 1k difference anyways. Its always nice to know the exact part, but I've found tha when its that close, just use whatever you have at hand. If it sounds bad, replace it

  Nominal...BMP's got many 'engines' so whether the one 'manifold' is 5% bigger makes like nominal difference.
  Try thinking about the difference between 10k and 12k as far as voltage drop and current limiting... just decide what you want in there.
  I decided on 12k because...my 10k's are always disappearing faster..probably why BMP's show different values there also.
