haha, i'm the exact same way. one of my first builds was a russian green muff, which is where a lot of the theory stuff clicked in my head. i mean, the light bulb went off and everything. so i have to agree, love it or hate it everyone should build a muff. try checking out the explanation again, just take it in pieces. so start with the explanation of one stage, once you get it down, move to the next, and so on and so on. trust me, you'll be happy you did and it will all make sense.
i took a look at the fatboost schematic, which is basically an AMZ mini boost with a tone control. i could be wrong, but if you wanted to raise the bass you'll want to increase 220nF cap that runs to the output, if you want to lower the bass lower the 220nF cap. this will only effect the amount of bass leaving, so you may want to add an input cap, in fact the original AMZ has a much higher 47nF input cap. the gain control basically just controls the amount of signal entering the effect.
no saint here, just a sinner with a helping hand, well at least for some people here. but, the again i would rather be hanging with the sinners, then singing with the saints.
but, seriously i'm actually just glad to help and pay if forward for all the help i've been given over the years. not to mention we're all brothers of the soldering iron, and you're one of us, so you'll get help whether or not you like it. 
btw, the ultimate answer to the question of why is always the same. QUANTUM MECHANICS!!!!! sorry, remember scientist here.
