Remove the diodes. Run a pair of wires from one of the diode's holes (on the PCB) to the center lugs of a DPDT switch. Put a set of diodes on one of the outer lugs of the switch. That will give you either diodes in the circuit or it will pull them out. Or you could get a DPDT center-off switch and have two sets of diodes + no diodes.
So I would just be soldering the diodes to the switch itself? Also, would the diodes have to be oriented a certain way like they are on the pcb?

Yes.

Yes. They need to be "back to back". Another way to say it is that the stripes should be facing opposite directions.
If you have room inside the enclosure, you might try one of these:

Those look pretty awesome and there should be plenty of room inside that Big Muff box. (GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THAT GUTTER!)

so solder the diodes to just one lug correct?

So the whole no diode thing was not my ........ well......thing. Hahahaha. Put em back in and I am rockin' in the free world!

I'd pay for this.

It could be done on just about any Muff with enough room to add the two switches.

Suhweet. What I
really want is a Muff built to triangle specs with:
-mids knob
-tone bypass toggle
-both sets of clipping diodes on their own switch
I need to figure out what to sell to make that happen!

I'm sitting on a triangle muff project right now with the fs3699. I was already gonna make it a crazy diode selection. I just dont know wtf is a mids knob. schematic pls.
