    I got a message from my music store yesterday and my English Muff’n has come in! I’m so excited I can hardly wait to finish work and get it! Perhaps I might call in sick? No wait, I need the money.

    I love my English Muff’n. I use it as a pre-amp at the end of my chain with the bass cranked for a thick clean tone with a hint of dirt. All of my pedals sound amazing going through it.

    Hope you’re enjoying yours!

    Thanks to everyone who has recommended the English Muff’n! To confirm, I had purchased and received my English Muff’n and used it in band prac last night.
    It sounded EPIC with my Les Paul Junior! I had some feedback problems with my SG, but I think that’s because the person I bought the SG off replaced the Standard Gibson pickups with an unknown Seymour Duncan. So yeah. Still got to do some tweaking, but I think this pedal is going to be one of my live mainstays…

    Hands down my favorite OD pedal.
    I have used it on countless sessions and after countless years of playing I can say that pedal rocks.
    it sound just like a classic Brit tube amp turned up.
    I use it into a totally clean amp sim and it records like a DREAM

    Keep the treble at 9 o’clock as well as bass.
    Thats the trick.
    Mids between 12 and 2 o’clock.

    Great Fratellis Chelsea Dagger Jumpstyle sound.

    Hello Bill,

    I think the English Muffin’ is an EHX masterpiece. I put a pair of 5963 tubes ( I hope I got that number right, I’m just getting into tubes ) & the thing is amazing. The GAIN knob actually works past 12 o’clock now, & with the addition of an Empress ParaEQ in frount of it to push the thing into my tone territory, it is an amazing pedal. I have an Orange TT Combo which my luthier Bill Covert at Lyrical Lumber in Maitland Florida ( another blantant plug ) helped me change the pre-amp tubes to get more clear tones, & the combo is amazing. I can’t say enough about the EM. I still haven’t quite gotten the hang of the tone knobs, I usually keep the HIGH/LOW at about 10:30 & the MID at 12 or slightly past. I find that playing with one tone knob makes the others respond strangely, so I don’t have the right touch yet. Any info on this or am I just imagining things?
