Nuclear Muff

Yet another notch on the Big Muff Pi™ bedpost. We were asked to take a look at whether this one was doable on our existing Baxandall Big Muff PCBs, but alas the tone section is different. It's such a nice version it was worth doing a board to make it possible, so here we are.

Based around a Triangle era circuit, but with that every so useful Bass ad Mids control. OK, yes - we know. It's actually a James tone stack since it's passive. Everyone calls it Baxandall. Live with it. It's a doozy. Lots of range in those two tone pots - screaming leads to doomy sludge.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is only available with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
