Hi all, i’m a new user but thought i’d be able to contribute something positive to this thread….

I play in a post-rock/metal band, so for me the thing that i needed most to add a new sonic to my sound was a fuzz pedal; i must admit the price was the number one factor in me buying the pedal.

The first thing to not is how much this DOESN’T sound like a traditional muff, the germanium characteristics make it far more gnarly, and the addition of the volts control on the distortion side allows me to get some really cool effects; i don’t tend to use the overdrive side, as it doens’t give me ‘enough’, apart from as a great volume boost to amplify the signal on my heavy pedal board that really suffers from tone suck!

I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a different fuzz sound, for rock/blues/pop it’s a great pedal, but mess with the bias and the volts and you can get some really nasty tones drop-tuned to C. I run this into a 60s Orange and it sounds really really fat even with single coil pickups. It’s not a Big Muff though, not even close, and that’s what i like the most! I’m not sure why it’s named this way…… maybe to give it an identity? I’m not an EHX fan boy so i’m not sure if i’m wrong there though.
