I have a dearmond fuzz wah sitting here which has a very strange fuzz and even stranger wah sound I dont like it with guitar ,but with bass i think it has some merit. do any of you have schematics that would help here ?.Which items would you change to add bass and some volume to the wah and fuzz sections.?

Caps.
 There's other things you can do to alter volume output, but the caps set the fixed frequency pass filters.
 For a cap in the signal path this means: larger value=more bass pass
 From signal path to ground: larger value=more highs get cut.
 If there's room for a switch or pot you could have an external variable bass rolloff control there. Socketing the cap position makes it not so hard to change quickly [and tell the difference] from inside the box.
 Before final decisions on cap values, it's a good idea to try the guitar vol control and anything else in the chain to see if it works the way you want.
