I bought a Mudbunny (Big Muff) PCB from http://www.madbeanpedals.com/ and had some extra components lying around so I decided to socket the whole thing (120 or so holes). I plan to try a bunch of different combination's of components until I get it tuned to my liking.

one of the projects ive always wanted to do. glad someone got around to it! though i think socketing every component is kind of overkill. take a look at this, very helpful!

I agree that socketing every component is overkill but it could be worse, I could have put trim pots in place of the resistors.
Thanks for the info.
I have been to the Kitrae site hundreds of times but somehow never saw that circuit guide.

It could be a whole lot worse. you are at least limited to the circuit as layed out on the pcb....ie., with a breadboard you'd have the option to experiment with different tone stacks or other stage configurations.
i did the same thing but on a shorter scale (only the trannies and diodes). I am curious though if changing some of the resistors at the bottom of the pcb might do something interesting to the sound. Don't forget to post the results!!!

Changing those resistors definitely does make a difference, Check out the Big Muff Circuit Guide that Teej212 put up a few post back. That is going to come in really handy when I get ready to tune it in.
I'm going to wire up and enclosure and mount it to a board with the PCB mounted next to it. I'll Post pics once I have it all together.

I got some interesting variations by swapping Q's for lower gain units. I just pulled out some random silicon NPNs and found low hfe units and tried them here and there. See what you think...

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out......as soon as I quit being so lazy.

can you get long strips and cut them to your needs? that looks as if that's what you did.
Yeah. you just break off what you need and solder them in. What I've done here is a little excessive and I plan on actually soldering in most components once I've found what I want. By socketing just the diodes and transistors you can get a good bit of variation and still use the board in a finished pedal.

Well, I've got the enclosure drilled so I just need to solder up the pots and switch.
Other than I've found a fuzz combo that I'm content with for now I have no decent excuse for my slow progress. I'm the type that may not touch a soldering iron for months and then do nothing but for the next few weeks. Hopefully the motivation strikes soon.

Never forget to publish results of course
