Who be rockin' them? Who's making clones of them?

I gots a couple of good ones



These are good

Niiiiice, Dev. I hear they're just as tasty on bass as they are on guitar, true?

I’ve played the Champion with bass, it’s great sounding and doesn’t loose the low end.

MM

Large and orange sounds good for me. And from the way its described its sounds like a big muff with a bigger dick

A transvestite fuzz?

WANT.

Hahaha didnt even realize i implied that

It's great on bass -- there's some clean bleedthrough, not as much as with a blend knob but it's there, so you don't lose low end.
Great fuzz all round -- a lot like a muff but with one less gain stage I think.

I think the diff is one less set of clipping diodes than a BMP.

If it's like a muff, does it get all boomy/scooped and disappear when jamming with the band?

I think the entire second clipping stage is taken out, and the input caps are higher that cause the aformentioned inherent slight clean blending

I have a 1.5 clone with an EQ mod switch that I got from Scruffie here last year.

Sounds huge with the right settings, and it's one of my favorite 'normal' fuzzes for both single coils and buckers.

Only complaint, like most all of them I'm aware of, battery only.

The one I sold you isn't a 1.5, it's a Germanium Mk.2 Tonebender.

The jumbo is closely related to the Big Muff so a DC jack could be installed (where as yours is positive ground so it'd need a converter) both the MkII and Jumbo draw very little from batteries though.

Glad you're liking it though!

The diodes are removed from the feedback of the second stage, and the recovery/4th stage is missing...there are minor value changes as well

Close enough I suppose

So if the recovery stage is taken how does the circuit not lose tons of volume? Cause of it only going thru only one pair of diodes rather than 2 in a regular big muff?
