Everyone will have seen the similarities between these two pedals - I'm just building a 2 - in - 1. It's a Jumbo Tonebender that can be a Big Muff Pi at the tromp of a button. It's in prototype on the bench right now, and there's some auditioning to do.... Back later with a schematic and layout!

After lots of experiments, board abuse and swearing, I've scrapped the idea, built a BM-Plus (with James tone control) and the thing really sings!mictester wrote:Everyone will have seen the similarities between these two pedals - I'm just building a 2 - in - 1.

Can't decide what to do for the tone stack of the BM i'm going to build.
I'm thinking of building it to green russian specs and I'm definitely going for a switch to pick a couple of tone stack options that i can put together on a vero.
I worked out that maybe the best way to get multiple tone stack options would be to set up a switch such that centre/off was the standard green russian values, switching one way put a 10n in parallel with the 4n cap for a gentle mid boost, and I'm still thinking about what to have on the other side.
Another thought i had was setting up the controllable mids mod, maybe even on a push pull pot, so that yanking out what would be the "mids" knob turned things back to green specs.
In fact, that second one almost sounds gimicky enough to make a boutique pedal and get me rich!
