Colorsound 'Bass Fuzz' - good god!

After years of curious gas for the Colorsound Bass Fuzz, I had a chance to grab one, so I gambled. Good god :!!!:
Apparently, the circuit is based on the Supa Tonebender....which in turn is based somewhat on a Big Muff.

I didn't think I'd find anything I like better on bass than the Bluebeard Fuzz.....but, the Colorsound just kicked the door in.
It pumps out an obscene amount of low end underneath a thick, smooth, muff like tone. And your playing stays articulate, without weird fuzz artifacts jumping out at random.

AND, on guitar? Think something like a Green Russian Big Muff with more gain and sustain for days...or maybe a Soda Meiser but with a gang of low end. Thick, sparkly, and super smooooooth.....total Pumpkins land.

Anybody else rocking one of these?

I had one. Fucking incredible. :love: The size was the only turn off for me. If it woulda been in a Blue Beard sized enclosure I'd probably still have it.

Yeah....the thing is huge. Bigger than a big box Big Muff!

Tried one once, fell in love.

This is a pedal ripe for cloning, imo.

If you guys get a hankering to make yourself one and need a few parts or drilled enclosures i'll sell the parts at my wholesale cost and do your drilling for free. (if you aren't able to find a suitable kit)
(this offer extended to all posters above this one no offense to anyone else I'm just hella backed up and... They're cooler than you)

Sonny, if you wouldn't mind adding one more, I'd like to get in on this too.

Just so I can get off the interwebz and back to work I'll do 10 but that's only after someone else has verified the proto as badass.
I have no experience with hearing one of these and I was about to just order a bunch of Fairchild bc549c's but imma have to do some research but this is awesome cause my new years resolution is to not buy any gear I couldn't make myself (or wouldn't like the mountainking stuff is original so I won't even gut shot it) And while this will take time it's one half of a one percent of the time I've spent the last year stalking bst threads for G&L parts and pedals that go boom.

Also if someone else wants to build these or has already built them feel free to jump in.
I just had a rough day and this makes happy faces for me.
