if you find an older big muff (look for the smaller box) those can be super warm and bassy. i love mine.

Do you have the Soviet made Big Muff?

[bailgun]

da.

[C H U C K]

How about a SuperFuzz?

if you've got a super bank account, sure.

where are you from? did you try craigslist?
the usa muff is way more fuzzier and fizzier sounding with a huge annoying mid scoop.
but the russian muff sounds really good. it's less fuzzy sounding and more like a mix of overdrive that still has that gritty fuzz sound. on the deer friends link i posted, at the end of "clumsy" when i have an overdriven sound, the left speaker is my russian big muff. i can't say enough good things about that pedal versus the not that great usa one, especially since i only payed $30. PLUS IT'S MADE OUT OF OLD SOVIET TANKS!

Speaking of the SuperFuzz and Big Muff. One of the greatest albums ever.

this rig is fun:
guitar > micropog with clean and sub octave levels all the way up > russian big muff > mxr blue box > ampeg v4 into the matching 4x12 and old ampeg 2x15. shit is so heavy! if you have everything on at once, you've got 3 octaves down of fuzzy doom. before i traded my digitech whammy for my 80's ibanez ad9, i would throw that guy on the 2 octave down setting too. 5 OCTAVES DOWN

I'll try to find one, I never actually use any stompboxes on the band but I've always wanted to try a muff it's like the only famous distortion stompbox I didn't get or try lol

i have an old digitech wahmmy pedal but i don't know if it still works, are the russian big muffs still in production?

I used to love Silicone diode amps for their distortion, until i started trying the "newer" tube heads, mesa had their mark series and marshall had their JCM800, when i finally got the money mesa had come out with their rectifier series while marshall had their jcm2000 series i think, the rectifier series were amazing besides the fact that most of my fave bands used mesa amps, so i got one while most of my friends were wasting money on stompboxes and multieffects, They never understood that the distortion of a good amp is the best.

hey that actually sounds better than how i imagined, i guess the difference between the american and the russian muff is huge.

[destroyerjazz]

yup. the american is more of a mid-less brittle fuzz and the russian is what it says on the box, a sustainer. it's still definitely huge and fuzzy sounding, but way more warm and less nasty.
