nice
very good sound quality to your recording
julianModeratorYeah. The Green sovteks have to be about the most bad ass looking Big Muffs ever. I had one briefly, but then I sold it because it needed repairs AND I needed money.
A gain stage was faulty, so it gave out this sputtery gated type fuzz. But then you’d hit it with a boost or an OD and it would sound the way it’s supposed to sound. And it was awesome.
julianModeratorOn the contrary, I love Gilmour’s work with Pink Floyd up to and including DSOTM (they did good stuff after that, but I think they were past their peak.) I’m not really interested in sounding like him, but I do note his gear choices and the way he uses it.
And I like Van Halen (with Roth, I can’t stand Hagar.)
Also Ned doesn’t like green muffs and I do.
julianModeratorif your right, none of the repeats would have the same pitch as the original. That’d be interesting.
julianModeratorI had a dream that my sister’s boyfriend had a holiest grail and didn’t use it and he wouldn’t give it to me. Grrrr.
julianModeratorThis thread’s getting a little out of hand. Can we all calm down a bit?
I can’t say I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing a triangle or ram’s head muff. I don’t think I’d put one on my board though. I’d be too scared of damaging it.
But anyways, we all play different guitars, different amps, different styles of music, and we all look for something different in our Big Muffs. I’ve played six different EHX Big Muff variants, and each one sounded different to me. Some I’ve liked more than others. Some I’ve disliked to an extent. Some I see as apples and oranges, blondes and brunettes- neither better than the other one- just different. Also, amps, speakers, and guitars make huge impacts on what my Big Muffs sound like.
You’re lucky to have your vintage muffs and play ones that you prefer. But I wouldn’t regard people playing the new ones as just being ignorant, maybe they just have different taste than you do.
Not to mention if EH did reissue a triangle muff, there’s a good chance that it might not sound like your triangle muff, because AFAIK not all triangle muffs used the same transistors.
The nice thing about the Sovtek and NYC Big Muffs is that they are big and very easily moddable. So everyone can tweak those to their hearts desire to find the Big Muff sound for them.
Maybe they should just introduce a Big Muff with modder’s kit with sockets to change transistors, resistors, and wire up different switches.
julianModeratorThere definitely are differences. People tell me the Tone Wicker with the tone on and wicker off is the same as the NYC muff- I don’t hear it. They sound different to me.
But I think people fall into the trap of spending too much time comparing and not enough time enjoying.
julianModeratorCathedral
julianModeratorI’m curious as to what kind of messed up effects I can get with a square wave analog delay
julianModeratorI have 17 total posts on TGP after being a member for something like 2-3 years.
julianModeratorQuote:as far as i know the only difference between big and small are that the capacitors in the small one are better quality.The bent-steel EHX pedals shape and thinness of metal help shape the electromagnetic field the pedal creates into a more pleasant shape, resulting in more even order harmonics, and therefor better tone.
Whereas the XO and Nano boxes shape the electromagnetic field improperly, resulting in more odd order harmonics, and therefor worse tone.
:sarcasm:
Why don’t we have a sarcasm smiley?
julianModeratorQuote:the repeats of the large MM were warm and fat. Repeats on the small MM sounded similar to the original note, didn’t have that same character. I’m sure every MM is different, and when more stores start carrying the small MM (I ordered mine online) I’m going to do some more A/B’s and hopefully find another small one that sounds a bit warmer.Are all the small chassis EHX pedals the same design as the large ones? Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite excited to see the small MM, Pog, Micro Synth, and others in a small chassis. I just hope they’re the same circuitry etc.
Sometimes, sometimes not.

it’s funny, but I mostly use it for that throbby trem
julianModeratoryeah, if it’s possible, you’d have to have a 3rd party do it.
julianModeratorI don’t see why not.
