Title: Pig Butt 2019
Post by: Aleph Null on May 23, 2022, 03:59:49 PM
This is a fairly stock Pig Butt. I had to get a little creative as I didn't have some of the specified resistor values on hand. The decal gave me a lot of trouble, but after about half a dozen attempts, I think patience paid off.

The jack connections at the top of the board made it very easy to keep the insides tidy.

I socketed all the capacitors in the tone stack. This was definitely a good idea as the stock tone stack was too scooped for my tastes. After a lot of experimentation, I settled on the values below. The result is a low pass around 460Hz and a high pass around 1.6kHz. This is actually pretty close to Ram's Head spec.

It definitely sounds like a Muff, but it's a little more ragged and mean than it's discreet counterparts.

Decal looks top notch, the font was a smashing choice too. And thanks for EQ tip, I'm yet to try an IC Muff but you've inspired me.

I wanted the graphic design to look like something you could get on a plaque at Hobby Lobby, while sounds like a robot being thrown into a wood chipper.
