Kornjunky · #1 03-13-2010, 10:14 AM

does anyone know whre i can get a fuzz toggle switch for my bass? I mean like an actual preamp switch that i could install on the bass
preferably one that matches my origonal knobs of my ESP B-55

Not going to happen, man...

You'll need to buy a pedal and activate it by foot or attach it to your bass which is ridiculous...

I squeezed a tubescreamer circuit into a bass for someone once. Still needs the 9 volt battery but the circuit board itself was smaller than the battery.

ok... im verry confused. it looks promising but im not good with wiring at all and need some explaination w/ the diagrams and how this thing works

ok... so i think all that does is convert my existing tone knob into an overdrive switch. i dont want that.
instead, i want to add a new knob/ switch to my existing EQ setup on the bass (wich is volume, tone, and gain; PJ pickups)

p.s. i actualy think theres actualy an option to put a switch so you can either use the tone knob or the black ice... wich sounds interesting

Sounds ok. As I recall it's just 2 front to back diodes in series. You could make the same thing for about 3 cents and 5 minutes.

This can be easily built on a tiny piece of perfboard.

I actually know of a First Act with a built in B:Assmaster. It's pretty freakin' cool.

rratajski · #12 03-13-2010, 08:04 PM

Yeah, but much does a kornjunky want to spend on that?
That First Act custom is BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL, indeed!
