All great builds! How's the sound on the 18v muff? More headroom? Did you have to beef up any other parts?
I didn't really beef up any parts I just watched the components to make sure that the voltage rating would be fine.

It adds a lot of volume to the muff. You can have the sustain really low and still get above unity volume which is really nice b/c you can get a nice less distorted muff sound. It's interesting. It felt like it added a lot of low end too but that could just be the increase in volume and by bass heavy amp.
I build stuff for myself, sometimes I do 1 offs, I label them as HornBlende Audio.

I'd buy that 18V Muff in your OP in a heartbeat, amazing! Might be my favorite Muff so far....  ;D

Not a huge difference tbh but I liked running it at 18 volts. I build the silver 18 volt muff 1st and then somebody asked me to build another (EHX style red and black decal one).

The pedal had a voltage sag and that is what I used to tell the difference between the voltages. At 9 volts it was quieter and more distorted and at 18volts its was also a little cleaner and I felt there was a little bit more bass. I don't understand how the bass bit works out since the filtering did not changed when I used the voltage sag.

Just try it! It's $7 worth of parts & PCBs. I've got a vintage V6 muff enclosure and I'm tempted to build one of these but I don't want to drill any holes since the enclosure is in such great shape.

Thanks!

Very nice builds?  Great looks. You have certainly been busy.

I'm curious about the Nose Pedal you mentioned for syncing the tap tempos.  Does it work well?  I think that may be the answer I'm looking for for syncing my Digitech looper and Timebender.   I wonder how hard it would be to build one...

It works well. I should have really built it myself it's not that complicated just like a normal tap tempo switch. Use this switch and wire it to 3 jacks.

Thanks!


edit: I just google for a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7DkXJt24hI you may be interested.

Welcome to the forum

Great pedals , the nose tap tempo was interesting as well.

Thanks
