Stoner/DOOM Bassists thread part 37: Ancient Alien Fuzz

yea could be that ala RAT style, the other one would be like a series resistor with the cap instead of variable LPF

I assume something like this maybe, minus the cap on the 2 lug of the volume pot?

looks like it's just connected to the footswitch. He said he placed it at the end of the circuit so it affects both the clean and dirty channels. would connecting it to the volume pot get rid of the volume drop i get?

yea that would work 2. slightly different filtering when the pedal is off, if thats what you mean affecting the clean signal or you mean it affects both the clean blend and fuzz after mixing.
 
well if the treble control is wired like the one in that diagram i sent, the treble pot is now going to reduce overall signal output so one thing you could do increase output is to tap the output cap directly from the collector of Q2. that would increase the output volume a **** ton from the fuzz itself. Might not be the easiest thing to do given its a PCB but it would work
 
First band practice in a month today. I'm excited to get back on the horse. We practiced Nov. 4th, went and saw the The Sword together instead of practicing the next week, and then haven't been able to get together since. I think we're really close to having one more song finished, which puts us in the "enough material to play out" area. Just got to make sure we're up to snuff with it. Still not practicing with a vocal PA, so I think that's the last step before we are ready to book a show or two.
 
Those are unavoidable every once in awhile unfortunately :(

I'll never forgot when Billows played with Lo-Pan, Backwoods Payback, and Admiral Browning in downtown Baltimore. Only non band members were my gf and father of fires.

We'll never have a show like that in Pittsburgh the scene is too supportive. I'm sure at one point we'll have one.

Listening to the new Soundgarden on vinyl. Sounds pretty bad ass I'm digging it.

Yup been there. We just treat it as a practice.
