Hey there. Going to try my hand at fucking up this old Russian Big Muff I've got. There are all sorts of mods online for it, but the problem is they are mostly just written instructions, referring to R1, C3 etc. etc. I understand in theory, but what I can't do is read schematics. And nothing is labeled on the PCB, nor can I find a PCB layout for the Sovtek Black Russian Muff. Plenty available for the other versions, but can't find one for this particular PCB. What I need is something like this: http://www.fredric.co.uk/misc/opamp_muff_verified.gif (http://www.fredric.co.uk/misc/opamp_muff_verified.gif)
But for the Black Russian. Anyone know where to find such a thing?
Nevermind... you always find it when you stop really looking. http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/May/Electro_Harmonix_Russian_Big_Muff_Pi_Pedal_Mods.aspx (http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2009/May/Electro_Harmonix_Russian_Big_Muff_Pi_Pedal_Mods.aspx)
Fuck I can't see it from my phone. I wouldn't mind modding my black Russian. I'll have to look into that link later and see if it's something an idiot with a solder gun can do.
Get yourself a soldering iron. them gun jobs don't heat up right.
