I'm looking to pick up a Big Muff pedal kit that I can mod into something ridiculous and filled with gobs of fuzzy gain. BYOC's kit seems to be a little easier, and I like the extra tone switch on it, but GGG's kit is cheaper and seems to have more options right out of the box. which one would be better to get?

the BM is simple enough to put into perfboard. Breadboard first to experiment with components, as you are planing some mods which are not well defined in the beginning.

I think the layout's better at GGG.  :icon_biggrin:

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

A tip: BYOC has a lot of famous boxes with a small mod added, and they rename it under a different name. Example: BYOC Mouse = Pro Co Rat + clipping diode switch. Go from a verified layout (GGG, Tonepad, etc.) and add the mod (if it's not too big) on a piece of perfboard or something. They usually show schematics at BYOC in the project file.
