Title says it all really!  I'll be using a muff (most likely a GGG Green Sovtek) with BASS, but I'd like to add in some clean signal to help me cut through in a band.  Is this an easy add-on?  Any other alternatives? (Don't really want a TB loop blend pedal by the way!)

I think there's an effect called Paralooper, schemo's on the net, dunno if someone already made a PCB, but seems to be easy. Would a 100k blend pot between input and output of BMP (lugs 1 and 3, lug 2 would be the output) could work properly? I haven't tried it, but it's pretty simple! If it doesn't work, you've just got to unsolder few wires.

I'm pretty sure that would cause oscillation problems. You would have to use a buffer to prevent problems with mismatched impedances. I've never built a paralooper but I would imagine that's essentially what it's doing.

The French connection

I know, but the pedal i built does not boost...it just increases volume!

I did a for "clean blend" + "big muff" and found this thread....

I'd also recommend searching using the terms "clean blend" + "fuzz"

You should find quite a bit of info...
