The Muff certainly is prone to some noise and hum. I built my RH to Civil War specs and it is actually pretty quiet, if that helps. Most likely that is due to it being less gain than some of the other versions. But, you are not going to be able to fit a large cap like that (470uF or 1000uF) on the Rabbit Hole. There's just no room. If you are using a well-regulated power supply like the PP2 or whatever, the 9v rails are already filtered quite a bit, too.
Brian I know you're real busy and if you can't answer this perhaps someone else can. You built the Civil War version and the only difference that I can see between it and the Green Russian (used this because its on the same page) is the 430p caps. So C2, 5 and 8 are basically determining the gain level between the two versions? And the Triangle and Creamy Dreamer would have the most gain since they are 560p (I know there are different parts used/omitted on these also). I am just trying to understand the process here.
And this question wasn't so much directed to the Rabbit Hole but in a whole towards the other gain/distortion pedals I've built that have so much hum/hiss that to me they're just not usable. A lot of these were earlier builds when I first started and maybe soldering and part selection wasn't the best. I know there are many variables that can contribute to this.
Thanks for the answers.
