Anyone have a bad monkey with the bass mod?

I'm sure there are mods online with schematics;)

 

Mine is a Guttermouth that I bought used. I compared it to the stock BM that is on my guitar pedalboard, and you can tell some good work was done.

 

The gain is smoother, like the peaks are closer together if you were reading it on a scope. The bass carries much better, and the bass/treble knobs are much more responsive (you can dial in a lot more tones with it).

 

It's much nicer in the "mids" range...

Pretty much +1 on what he said, I also own a GM modded Bad Monkey, it sounds much fuller and snarlier than the normal model unmodded. I'd recommend performing the upgrade :)

really? i had no idea you had one of my pedals.cool :wave:

 

i have yet to see a schematic for the bm. all the mods i do on them i had to trace out the circuit with a probe and just make educated guesses. the biggest single change you can make is tweaking the caps in the bypass circuit - the pedal drops a {censored} ton of low end in bypass mode.

I now have
TWO
of your pedals... this Yammie distortion sounds really fat and cool with my Strat. My P-bass overdrives it a little too much to use with my bass rig, but it sounds awesome with my guitar rig.
:thu:

 

 

 

cool man. i meant to ask if you got it or not. that yamaha has tons of modding potential - i figured it would be a good one to tweak on if you ever got in the mood. i did a bit of work to it and as it sits right now i think the best sounds are in the lower gain spectrum :thu:
