The Best Solution to all your bass effect needs!

I had been looking for a good bass for years with no luck. Muff, Digitech, guitar fuzzes, i went through them all. all of them just dident seem right. either the low end or the high end would be droned out or the sustain would be 2 thin. so i did alot of experemental trial and error about what i wanted and eventully built my own bass fuzz. it is the most beutiful sounding fuzz ever! so note of advice: If you cant find one thats perfect, build your own! its not as hard as you think :bassist:

Did you 'roll your own' or is it a kit of another pedal anyway?

If you rolled your own, was it based on anything or did you just come up with a basic schematic idea and start plugging components into a breadboard and experiment?

EDIT: noticed you said experimental trial and error.. :) Also, while its relatively easy to get a fuzz happening to possibly meet your needs, building a pedal for modulation is a lot more complicated. I don't think you would satisfy all your needs by building very easily
