Title: Effect suggestions for a Bass Guitar
Post by: Chris S on November 17, 2003, 01:45:25 AM
I'm wanting to build an effect for my bassplayer.

We play as a three peice and I'd like to build something that fattens up the bass sound and perhaps adds a little bit of fuzz - (a bit like the bass player from the band muse).

Any suggestions and schematics greatly apprectaited  :D

Cool, Would using two 2n3904's on the delux version work as well as using a mpsa13?

Yes, they'll work perfectly.

What happens if you plug a bass guitar with an active pickup into the Bazz Fuss without the transformer (and no other pedals)?

Thanks!

The characteristic tone of the Bazz Fuss may be diminished.  Use the transformer for best results.
