Big Muff tone bypass

Post by Officer Bukowski »

So I got a couple big muff ("mudbunny") pcbs from madbean and I was wondering how I would wire in a tone bypass. The mudbunny pcb is set up for a mids control. Is there a way I could bypass the tone and mids controls with one switch? How could I do that?

Thanks

Remember, the mids knob on the Mudbunny is just a variable resistor to ground in series with another resistor. Just use this. Take C11 and the 1st lug of the mids pot and tie them to one outer lug of an SPDT. Leave the other outer leg open and connect the middle lug to ground.

Edit: thanks!

Do I just put one leg of C11 on the switch or both + first lug of the mids pot? Also, by first lug are you referring to the lug on the right if the pot shaft was facing away from you?

For tone bypass, a spdt will work. Tie the legs of the cap and res to the middle lug, one lug to ground, then opposite lug is open.
