Pickup the Violet Ram muff and build it stock, it sounds great on bass and it's a good build, I have a musikding VR muff on my bass board.

I will thanks!

Envellope filters are badass on bass too, i HIGHLY suggest MadBean's Kraken (MuTron MicroV modded workalike) it's a bootie shaker/pantie remover in a box

I'll keep that in mind!

Can anyone help before I place the order?
thanks

OK I've found two pedals on musikding, an overdrive (screamer) and a distorsion (muff violet ram), both for guitar. Here the link to the schematic and part list...

Which mod would you suggest me to adapt them to the bass?

Thanks

it's usually just a matter if replacing the input and or out put caps. THIS IA A GENERAL STATEMENT AND DOESNT APPLY TO EVERY PEDAL ;-) but you'll find it works.

Hyde, this is why you would socket capacitors.
(In reference to your other thread.)

Got it, thanks!

Anyone can advise me for some kit?

Thanks a lot for the very clear explanation.

Hello everyone,

I'm new on the forum and I'm getting started on the DIY pedal world. As obvious the most part are guitar players here, I was wondering how many bass players there are.

I'm also looking for a kit pedal specific for bass, in another post someone suggested an overdrive (http://buildyourownclone.com/bassoverdrive.html), do you know any other pedal?

Or maybe I could buy a pedal for guitar and make some mod, a suggestion on this way would be appreciated aswell.

I mean, I can't wait to start with my first pedal, so please help me on this!

Cheers

When you socket your transitors, which I always do now, do you guys cut the leads short or are you bending the transistor over 90°?

sounds like arabic to me 

sorry for being asking stupid questions... do you use sockets for transistors only or for all the components? In the post i quoted before they talked about "matching socket", meaning that for each kind of component there is a specific socket to consider (order) and maybe different for resistors, caps, transistors etc.?

Maybe if I could see a picture I'd understand more easily!

That is also what you need to buy. Also, for any "IC" that you buy, buy a matching socket for it.
(A socket let's you take the IC in and out without having to solder and unsolder over and over again.)

You can also get single rows of sockets to use for transistors.

Is this a common practice? I had never heard of them, i thought the pieces were just soldered on the PCB.

Jubal81's BOM's http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5703.0 were also very helpful to me.

Wow this is brilliant! Thanks!

Thanks Philo. That pedal might be good... but it's expensive too!!

Anyway, can't wait to start building one, who knows if it will be more of a "zen" or a "frustration" experience... it will probably start with second and hopefully eventually turn on the first one!

Thans to all of you for the suggestions, I'll defintely buy a kit as first build, you're right.

I forgot to mention that I'm a bass player, so i guess i'll have harder time to find some kit bass specific, but I'll give a look in all the sites you mentioned. Can you suggest me a good kit for bass? (i'm looking mainly for a distorsion, later also a compressor, delay, chorus)

I'll definitely bother you more later on once i'll be started!

Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum and I'm just going to get started to the wonderful DIY pedal world!

I have targeted a few projects on this site but I was wondering what's coming with the package, I guess for the price it's only the electric component (PCB, resistors, caps, etc...), so I have to buy apart enclosure, pots, knobs, jacks, led, switch, etc... Am i correct?

Will I find all the instuctions on how to proceed or not?

Well, if you can give me a brief general introduction or point me to an already existing topic concerning this (which I haven't found) that would be great!

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Cheers!
