Q3
You can build the Big Muff Pi and many of its variants on this layout. Markings for polarized capacitors
can be ignored if using non polarized ones. Different diodes can be used for D1-D4 including LEDs.
Off board components except for the potentiometers are not shown on the layout. Check out our
offboard wiring project page at tonepad.com for offboard wiring options. Trademarks remain
property of their owners and are used only for reference.

Variants and Mods. Many think the stock big muff has too much bass, these mods fix this by changing
the 1uF coupling capacitors to 0.1uF, they also tweak the gain on each of the stages and also the tone
stack. Trademarks remain property of their owners and are used only for reference.
