PERMANENT ELECTRONICS

First up for DIY projects is a favorite around here, the Colorsound Supa Tonebender. It's a Big Muff Pi variant sold under the "Colorsound" brand and distributed by the UK company in the 1970s. The difference between a standard Big Muff and a Supa Tonebender is the removal of the first two clipping diodes and a coupling cap. Seriously, that's it. The resulting sound is louder with tons of thick distortion, much in the same area as a Big Muff, maybe a little less fuzzy, more of a distortion than a fuzz, but still completely over the top. Much more low end than a standard Big Muff. (GREAT on Bass, Keys, Synths, Drum Machines, etc)
