Update (03.05.2014): Green russian version verified, and I’m calling the layout verified, thanks to rydia.
In between doing other stuff I decided I wanted to revamp an old layout, or a number of old layouts actually. So I’ve created a single vero layout for the Big Muff Pi that should cover most of the various versions that are floating around out there. I also think the layout in general is a little bit neater than the old ones. Let me know what you think and how it sounds 🙂
I have never heard of that site, so I can’t say for sure. I based these on the project at http://www.generalguitargadgets.com if my memory serves me correctly.
is the first rams head the 75#1 from kitraes site?? it looks like it. I built it and it works fine but its to woofy gritty and dirty for me.
My guess is there’s a small mistake somewhere. Have you read the debugging section?
hi there, I juist finished building the black russian version and although it sounds, it has very low gain, i put every pot at max and it barely distorts, what could it be? thx!
Nice, Roberto 🙂
Hi Harald,
I’ve just built the Ram’s head version using your layout and it’s working good (I think)! For the footswitch I have also used your diagram.
Before that, I had only listened to a modern USA made and this appears to be more like a distortion, but becomes into real muff when setting volume to max. Seems to be nice!
Thank you very much!

Yes, you’re right. Lug #2 on the volume pot IS the output. If you use true-bypass wiring you run a wire from volume #2 to the 3PDT.
And not a stupid question. Everyone starts out somewhere! Happy building 🙂
Hi Harald,
I’ve just build the Civil War up following the layout above, but once wiring i realised that I don’t know where is the output of the pcb, I mean, on the notes you say that volume 2 goes to output but I cannot find it.
Did you mean that volumen 2 works like the output of the pcb?, that means that vol.2 goes straight to the 3pdt lug?
My appologies if it’s a stupid question, first time I’m building stuff, I’m a rookie.
Thanks!
Thanks for verifying!
Thanks for the layouts! This one–well, the Green Russian part, at least–can be considered verified. Very cool idea. I’m looking forward to tweaking it a bit and blending in other variations.
