x fuzz (deadastronaut) help tweaking for bass

2liveis2die
I recently built the abvoe mentioned pedal from the layout posted here.
Im fairly new to pedal building and a little unsure n how this pedal works exactly




the only change iv'e made is changing the right led to a green one.
It sounds great with bass as is but it doesn't hold the low end quite enough. Would altering the input and output caps help or would i benefit more adding a clean blend?

also iv'e heard that adding a clean blend can cause phase issues. will this work with a clean blend?

Begin by changing the 10n cap to a 22n or 47n or even a 100n (put in sockets so you can just keep plugging them in)

The 100n seems to be the output cap

Ive already changed the input cap to 100n. it seems to be a little bassier now. just have to see how it performs in a band situation now.
