i would like a ggg jumbo tonebender built for me. i heard its like a big muff but kinda seems like some clean tone comes thru, sounds like the perfect fuzz to me. haha!

It's like paint by numbers, but instead of painting, you're soldering. | If the Jumbo Tonebender was a GGG kit, I'd agree. However, the Jumbo Tonebender is only available as a 'ready to solder' printed circuit board. That means the assembler has to get all the parts and figure out a layout that will allow the PCB, pots, stompswitch, input and output jacks, AND the battery to all fit in the little Hammond enclosure. The chance of making a mistake is high for a n00b, yes I've been there. The GGG kits are easier for a beginner because the case is pre-drilled, most of the pots are soldered to the PCB, and they have step-by-step assembly instructions.
The Jumbo tonebender is SO similar to the big muff circuit that it might make more sense to buy a used Muff and have it modded to JumboTB specs. The only obvious difference is the lack of clipping diodes on the 2nd gain stage in the JumboTB, and the lack of a buffer stage after the tone control.

Thier might be more differences in component values but the pcb, pots, enclosure, etc. should be the same. |

| It's really not that hard. My only previous soldering experience came from
Wiring up speaker cabs, aka noobtastic. My first build was the GGG tuned muff and it worked the first time I fired it up. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
