Hello everyone.
I’m the owner of a NYC Big Muff, one that’s not that old (but I don’t know exactly when it was made, I bought it used round 2004, 2005) and it worked fine for some time, I think. I just recently noted, using a fuller pedalboard, that the pedal is sucking much of my tone in bypass mode. I tested all of my units individually, with the guitar lying down and an Ebow on one string, to get a constant volume sound… then switched through all pedal and into a recording interface, and what I got was the Big Muff was taking about 8db from the sound. That more than my non-true bypassed pedals, and it’s not really acceptable. When I use it on the pedalboard, the clean sound get really small and lifeless. Has anyone else had this problem?
