Does anyone (perhaps the administrators???) know if there are any real differences between the Big Muff and the Little Big Muff’s circuits? I have watched some of the videos available on the website and there seems to be a bit of a difference in the sound, but would rather spend the extra money for the Big Muff if there is a difference. Thanks!
The circuits are different enough to cause a tonal difference. The basic circuit is the same but with different components.
Like already said.
Same schematic different value components is all.
But yes,they sound way different yet still like a big muff.
I actually done a schematic that shows you where the differences are between the 3003-A NYC muff and the LBM ,the differences are a total of 11 components and different transistor types having different values.
But considering the LBM is a current production pedal i wont give the schem away.
I will give the out of production 3003-A (2000 model no longer made) schem out but not the current2008 3003-C one.
Put it this way, they both sound different enough to warrant owning both!
BTW, this belongs in the help forum.
the only thing I will would add to what’s been said is that some people prefer the sound of the LBM, so I wouldn’t dismiss it without trying both…. or the Big Muff/Tone Wicker for that matter.
Thanks all. The final verdict is for the Big Muff.
