Trying to finish up my first pedal build.
Loads of ideas have built up over the years, finally reached critical mass and BOOM! While still in shock... started building.
I tend to think along lines like your Bazz Fuss & Electra combination. "Take this part of this circuit and add it to that part of that circuit..."; latest idea, for example: a Hog's Foot/Mole circuit x 3; split the signal into highs mids and lows and then give each EQ section its own Hog's Foot — or other circuits, such as Cleanish OD to the bass, Distortion to the mids and Fuzz to the highs.
However, since I'm just starting out I'm sticking to pre-fabbed PCBs for now.

Yeah best to start simple and expand, although I will probably stay simple (Maths, bad)

And so now the next step is to add boost in front and following.
examples are lpb1, which is built and does a good job in front, not following, but also really changes the character of the fuzz, Its kind of gnarly, smoothable somewhat, but the lpb1 breaks it down further, and next up will be the amz jfet minister, and a combo boost buffer. I'll try these but has anyone have experience with this sort of arrangement. Already have the effects running through a blender with clean mix.
