Why? What are you expecting to accomplish? It probably wouldn’t sound that much different.

That’s actually a great question. The big muff is extremely compressed with the diodes clamping down on the signal.

Right. It’s not going to give it more headroom. It’s designed with multiple clipping stages.
Plus why would you want it cleaner sounding. It’s a Big Muff.

Well, I'm only using about third of the sustain pot since everything above is pretty useless rotation imho.
So cleaner might surely be worth it.
Besides if there's something I think there might be to improve it would be to have same glorious sustain with a tad less grit.
But mainly question came up to me since I had extra 12v output...

I hope you won't fry it :/
I saw a clip on youtube, where they ran various pedals on ... what was it? 9, 12 and 18 volts...
And there was a difference in tone, headroom and so on. But no guarantee, that putting more volts on your box, won't fry it.
