Nice! I am a fan of each variation of muff.

it cracks me up how small the pcbs are compared to the enclosure.

I know! You could fit at least a couple of them in there! I still enjoy putting proper circuits back in these gutted enclosures. I’ve done a few by now. I also have a later model black Sovtek enclosure that I put a bubble font circuit in a good while ago. It’s a nice change from Hammond boxes (which I also like, but variation is good).

Nice work! I should do something similar to my NYC BMP. The innards are in a pretty bad shape after having gone through tons of mods over the years, and I don't think the PCB can take much more de/resoldering, the traces have already lifted in a couple of spots.

Nice! I have one of Jay's BMP PCBs in the same enclosure.

Wouldn't it be cool to build a Muff that had like four styles of big muffs in one box and a switch to select with pcb is in use?

You should give it a try! The entry cost isn’t too high and there’s a bunch of people here that could help you with all the basics. A complete kit from any of the big places is always a great way to start. A lot of them even have predrilled enclosures.

That is a good call...there's been a couple of times where I bought some parts but never got started.. l

I’ve built pedals from Jed’s Peds and Fuzzdog. I preferred Fuzzdog but really both are good. If you can solder at all they’re pretty easy.

Hey thanks for this, I was only aware of BYOC...I'll investigate further...I've been getting more and more confident with my soldering lately after several guitar re-wires, so I guess putting some effects together is the next logical step.

General guitar gadgets has a ton of projects, many with complete kits available. I use their PCBs here and there. I reference schematics very often. Check them out too.

And don't forget Musikding.de! Built quite a few Musikding projects over the years. They also sell loads of different designers' kits.

Do it before your eyes start going bad!
I had a supply of parts and schematics along with a stash of cases, switches and knobs, with plans to build 4-5 pedals. One day I had the soldering iron out and realized I couldn’t see well enough to do the work.
That was 6 years ago and my eyesight is worse now. I would need one of those jewelers magnifying lenses or something. My hands aren’t shaking yet, but that runs in the family too.
