Modding Big muff-musket fuzz?

so i have a big muff pi. i am going to do the tone bypass mod. seems super easy enough.
i also was wondering about what would be needed to turn the big muffpi into a Musket fuzz clone. or something similar with a little more control and focus than the woofy noisey pi

any ideas?

try that and go from there. step by step getting closer to the sound you want. you can put a different rc filter to replace the old mid scoop tone knob after you listen to it with the tone bypass mod.

The Musket also has a clean boost in the front of it, a pregain control, and the mids knob. None of them are very hard to implement either!

any suggestions on doing this?
i saw a layout online(even a kit) for a veroboard musket fuzz. kit was like 14$ bucks in parts not counting the enclosure... i have never done a veroboard but it doesnt look hard.

I'd advise building something a little simpler/ smaller for your first vero, but it's certainly do-able.
Here's a gutshot of a Musket fuzz I built on vero a few weeks ago-

As you can see, the parts count/ wiring is a step beyond most fuzzes in terms of difficulty, but I'm no expert and this fired up first time.
Out of interest, where did you see the kit? I've not seen many vero kits for sale...
