Big Cheese clone. (lemmy.world)

Big Cheese by Lovetone clone. I added a blend knob so it'll be a little more bass friendly. Waterside decal. And a uv led.

I bet that blend knob is amazing for getting more usable tones out of that thing. That's awesome!

I mean, sure if I ever used it. But if I ever actually used any of these I'd realize I wouldn't have to keep getting more, and that would be ludicrous.

(But yeah, blend knobs on pedals for bass are almost a must. I bought 5 Buff&Blend kits to have on hand for other projects.)

I'm not familiar with the Big Cheese. What are the modes?

[–] ZagamTheVile 6 points 1 month ago

There were big in the '90s. All the grunge bands used them. Shit tones of others too. Mode is a rotary switch that selects between four different tone modes: Off (tone bypass), S (scooped mids), F (flat mids), and Chaos mode which biases the transistor into instability. Theres a trim pot in the box that sets the bias.

Wow, I love it! Such a great, gnarly sound. I love how the edgy spitty quality stacks when you multi track with it. I made a PedalPCB version, but yours is primo!

Thanks! The board I got from Aion and the blend is the Buff&Blend v2 from GuitarPCB.
