adding bits together

[wormfooduk]

ok so i have a bazzfuss and i want to add a big muff tone control, i know from other posts that this loses you alot of signal (6db?) so i was thinking a boost after the tone section. a bit like this.



I've drawn this up in LTSpice but in the sim the tone has all the treble rolled off and the out put is still quiet. I maybe using spice wrong as im new to it. I guess you can lose the 1M pulldown resister from the LPB but i don't see what else is wrong with it?

FYI, you're basically building a Whisker Biscuit without an input buffer.

You might want to just do it how they do it.

I know this seams a bit pointless but I don't want the whisker biscuit, i just want the bazzfuss + tonestack + recovery stage, i like how it reacts with the guitar volume. Plus i dont get the changes hes made to the tonestack. its very violent. Im trying to understand the changes hes made. All ive done so far is copy others I want to learn more about why values need changing when you combine different things together, how the components interact, more how it works? I have no teachers or coarses in my area and im having problem understanding past the basic level. I don't learn well from books.

I've read the very good guide to the tube screamer from GEO and i understand the stages and how the treble is cut etc.

  Suggested question:
  Will the BF loading via passive TC losses result in altered response of the TC ?

Why not tack on the BM gain recovery stage after the tonestack? So then it's the Bazz followed by BM tone and then gain recovery.  Then it's just the last part of the BM schematic adding to the Bazz Fuss. Stripped down Whisker Biscuit...

good idea I think theres a little big muff fuzz thats even more basic than the big muff that has a recovery stage and tone stack ill have a look at that. Id still like to know why the tone stack gets pulled all over the place when linked to such a basic circuit?

Honestly, lose the 1M and what you have drawn there looks absolutely fine. Perhaps try replacing the 1M/100k with 10M/1M.
