It’s not listed in the online dealer catalog anymore so that may be true.

I asked about it when I visited them in June. The costs to make the Russian pedals ROHS compliant were too high, so they discontinued the Russian pedals.

They were already not available in Europe for a while, I think they just sold the stock in the US.

whoa, I just bought one on ebay… my first muff… and when i come here… they are discontinued

i can’t even tell you how curious I am

well… speaking about curiousness (well, i pick hard words for a teenager from central europe :worried: ) … why is that, dear EHX?

they’ve not been available in the UK for a few years…it’s to do with RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances)

The RoHS Directive and the UK RoHS regulations came into force on 1 July 2006 and I presume that’s when they stopped selling them here. I think a lot of it is to do with lead in (non-RoHS) solder and other stuff in other components probably too…although I don’t know for sure. I really wish I had bought a few when my local shop have some in a few years ago because the prices are gonna go silly now.

Glad I own two of them! They are my favorite Muff’s, sad to see them discontinued.

All sovteks sound like shit IMO! (its because all the capacitor values are wrong) But those that want one can always find them on ebay,there’s tons of them there…from the red army overdrive(this ones rare though) to the tank like green one to the flimsy black one,you can always get them on ebay.

I own a tank like green one, a half tank like black one and a flimsy black one, all modified heavily.

I bought all but one 2nd hand.

so basically what you’re saying is: “this effect sucks! i have three of them!” is it just me or it doesn’t make any sense?

………’all modified heavily’ was the key phrase here, I gotta say to me they are the ‘poorly made, poor sounding, cheaper alternative’ to a ‘real’ big muff, although I guess they have their own charm, but I’ve never been impressed with any of the russian made pedals.
