P.U.F.F. fuzzface mod for bass?

[fabio artuso]

hello there!!

I’ve just built a couple of PUFFs I bought from musikding and both sound cool for my guitarists.
Now, I’d like to modify one to be used with a bass. I tried to plug the bass and I feel it “weak” on low ends.
I have read somewhere that I could replace the C1 (currently a 2.2uF) with a higher value as 4.7uF. Is it true? sufficient? any other suggestion?
thanks a lot as always
