MXR+ Bazz Fuss

I think I really nailed the sound that I'm looking for on the 6-string and on the bass. At first I thought I was going to have to add switches to change to different capacitors on the input and the output. For the bass I thought I needed a ridiculously large 100uF cap to let the lows through, luckily I found a way around that. I was doing a little more pedal building research and came across a schematic of the MXR+ Distortion pedal. I noticed the little diode network and capacitor hanging off of the output pot on the right - it makes distortion. Sooooo, I added it to the Deluxe Bazz Fuss (along with the 10k resistor between the output capacitor and output pot). Reference the schematic in my previous post to picture the placement. I'll post a schematic with my mods in a later post after I draw it up (it's still just in my tinkering breadboard state). The effect of this mod was to smooth out the distortion and deepen the tone, really great for bass and metal guitar. I think I'll add a switch when it goes in the box to be able to turn it off. Without it I can get a nice overdriven tone that is a little brighter. Still amazed at how versatile this little circuit can be.
