Hey! this post is a petition to reissue some classic big muffs. I’m DYING to see reissues of the IC big muff, the rams head big muff, and the deluxe big muff. if you agree, just reply saying YES. that’s all i need. I’m hoping to get the attention of some of the staff members on the forums. please reply!

and possibly the double muff with the big muff style casing instead of the nano case.

a reviewer for a magazine couldn’t when he tested the 44 magnum and his blew, and ehx has said, ragarding reissues: ‘they want to move forward, not look backward.’August 26, 2011 at 9:13 pm #115686KitraeMemberThat’s basically what I have been told as well. EHX is not interested in reissues.
Even if they were, just saying we want a “Ram’s Head” reissue is not as easy as it sounds. As far as circuits and sound, there is no one Triangle or Ram’s Head circuit. That just refers to the enclosure and graphics. There were dozens of different sounding circuits with differing component values inside Triangle era and Ram’s head era BMP’s. Which do you pick? You can literally pick a dozen Ram’s Head era Big Muffs, and 7-8 of them will sound different from all the others.
That said, I would love to see the current large box USA Big Muff circuit revised to have more of a vintage early to mid 1970’s BMP sound. We all know the demand is there for it. I have quite a few vintage Big Muffs that I could offer up as examples. That all sound different, but all are very good, and very different than the current model. I would happily supply EHX with schematics. I just don’t think they have any desire to do this.
The Russian Big Muffs were replaced by the Bass Big Muff. Similar component values and sounds, so doubtful EHX would be interested in making another version when what they currently have fits the bill for them.

An IC Muff would be nice though and they could add some extra features.
August 29, 2011 at 3:12 pm #115631wurzelMembermoving forward is great, as long as we still see great effects at affordable prices.
The big boys seem to think that going forward means more profits for less quality (fender!!).
There is something about all those awkward big boxes, variable power supplies etc that makes a difference.
Maybe the difference (to me anyway) is just that it’s not ‘standardized’. -
