I doubt anyone other than Pete Cornish knows what component values are really in Dave Gilmour's Big Muffs.  Here's the most information I've ever seen on the subject.  I'm sure there's scads of speculation elsewhere on the Internet.

Honestly, fretting (no pun intended) over a couple of component values is not going to make a big difference.  What you posted above for the Ram's head will be good enough.  There are so many other factors that go into the Gilmour sound.  I would suggest putting a Colorsound Overdrive after the Ram's head.  Set it up at slight overdrive.  That is what I do.  It sound so much better that way.

Another thing to do is socket C5, C6, C8, C9.  Try lowering and raising these values slightly.  For instance for C5 and C8 try between 330p and 560p and for C6 and C9 try between 47n and 220n.  You may find some values that fit your gear better.

yes yes I know to own equipment and hand (feeling) of each influence on everything, I really like to use TS808 after BIG Muff Fuzz face  , I think for my sound is very good.

Most just want to make a clone of RAM'S HEAD.
I appreciate the attention
