What sort of feedback? You'd basically want to increase the gain of the whole pedal to make feedback easier. Generally, you jumper the 100 ohm (ish) resistors on the second and third transistors (the clipping stages), and you could increase the feedback resistors (normally 470K). Then you could remove the 8.2K resistors, remove the first set of diodes since they decrease the gain going into the second stage, etc etc. There's lots of things you can do.
@McSpunckle> The prop is with a SM [or variant there of] on bass is if you use a bass with a low B and have really hot pickup or active the gate really fucks with those lower notes.
I have a real hate love, love hate thing with BMPs I have 6 variants For me the most most useful are the GGG Tuned [for extreme Russian type sounds] and The Katana Sound Thunder Cloud [for vintage type sounds], I love my old Green sov but on mine the lows are over the top and there are NO mids, I find the Black russian to have the same prob but with less low lows and a thinner over all sound. I also have a NYC which I bought to mod when I have the time, and I still will as to me stock it is crap.
Also have a BBM. Best paper weight ever made, not a very good fuzz but man come a windy day it really keeps paper from blowing about.
Yeah, that's true. I spend most of my time in the higher end of the bass when I'm using that sort of fuzz, so I don't really notice it.
Removing the first set of diodes is really a big help. Each set of diodes cuts off a little bit of bass. Making the caps before them smaller would fix that to an extent, but makes it less fuzzy and kinda bleh.
