The 50K tone pot is great idea , I always found the range of the tone knob a little bit too large on big muffs.

I've done a vero layout, but I just wanted to check - I'm assuming the 1u electrolytic clipping diode caps should be oriented with the positive towards the collector end and the negative towards the base?

Skreddy; I built your Mayo circuit from information I could find on this forum (including the information you gave).

I have to say it is the best big muff I have ever heard (I had already built 3 different muffs before trying the Mayo).

I am definitely going to check out the Pig Mine.

Thank you for your help and information on this forum; you come across as a true Gent :applause:

I will definitely buy one of your pedals when I have a few quid to spare.
