Skreddy Pedals
Supa Tone

When used for bass: the tone knob acts kind of like a blend control for the fuzz.  You will want it somewhere in the counter-clockwise zone, where your low end lives

When used for guitar: you should find the right balance between bass and treble with the tone knob, and you can switch from scooped to flat mids

Skreddy Pedals™ Supa Tone: based on a 1974 edition of a fuzz released by Colorsound™, this circuit is not based on a germanium Tone Bender design but is a variant of the Big Muff™ circuit.

The first pair clipping diodes is removed, so there is more clean boost in front of the remaining pair of clipping diodes.

The original I based this on used all tropical fish coupling caps; I've used modern polyester caps (and lately have subbed in a couple of ceramics, too, which bring back some mellowness and midrange, as tropical fish do not sound harsh and scooped like modern polys can).  I've used low-gain transistors (also like the originals--and lately have begun using even lower-gains than my first run) to retain dynamics and avoid going into syrupy-sustain territory.

when used for bass:

bullet

Grindy, tubey distortion that stays in the pocket

bullet

You get a fuzzed attack but it's still punchy and retains the normal decay envelope

bullet

As much low end as you like can be dialed in or out

bullet

Consider noon to be "all the way up" on the tone knob (but unfortunately the mids switch has little effect in that half of the sweep)

when used for guitar:

bullet

Raspy, unrefined, with (potentially) loads of low end (depending on the sustain and tone knob settings)

bullet

More raw & dynamic, less compressed and sustainy than a Big Muff*

bullet

Low sustain-knob setting makes a nice cranked JCM900* emulation

"...It actually has MORE bass than what I recorded, but I didn't want to spike my mixer. It shook the walls of my house (love it!)
