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.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

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.
