Phil O'Keefe Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 You know, I'm really not an expert on all of the various Big Muff circuits that have been used over the years, but as I understand it, this one has the same circuit as the mid-90s era Green Russian Muffs, which I believe are the same internally as the Civil War Muffs, or at least use the same circuit... with Russian-built parts. I suspect they're making the Russian reissues in the USA, but I don't know for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucksstudent Posted August 23, 2017 Members Share Posted August 23, 2017 I like any and all fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZoomRmc Posted August 24, 2017 Members Share Posted August 24, 2017 It says "Овердрайв" under the switch, wich means Overdrive. Isn't Muff considered a fuzz? It will probably not sound close to the original Russian-mades I think, the parameter spread of the old soviet parts that were used should be pretty high.

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 It says "Овердрайв" under the switch' date=' wich means Overdrive. Isn't Muff considered a fuzz?[/quote'] And "fuzz" would be "пушинка." I'm sure, like all Muffs, it's more fuzz than overdrive. Why did they put the Russian word for overdrive on it? I have no idea. It will probably not sound close to the original Russian-mades I think, the parameter spread of the old soviet parts that were used should be pretty high. Yeah, Russian parts tolerance could be pretty loose... but they're using the same basic circuit, so I suspect it's going to sound pretty darn similar. Parts tolerance usually doesn't make that huge of a difference. Again, I don't know if they're making the new ones in the USA (as I suspect) or in Russia, or maybe they're being built in the USA using Russian parts? Again, I just don't know at this time. We'll have to wait until someone gets their hands on one and opens it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t_e_l_e Posted August 25, 2017 Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 can't help, but it does look sexy, as the originals... maybe i will get one just for the looks and don't care how it sounds btw i have those hanging from my car mirror [ATTACH=CONFIG]n32046888[/ATTACH] i don't know anymore, but i guess i got them from there https://en.dawanda.com/product/49077914-big-muff-pedals-duo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted September 19, 2017 Members Share Posted September 19, 2017 Picked one up on Saturday and had a hard time putting my guitar down. I'm not an expert, but I think it sounds pretty similar to my black Russian muff, but with a usable bypass. I was using it with a G&L Fallout going into a DRRI and I thought it was pretty glorious.

Members Juicy Elk Man Posted September 22, 2017 Members Share Posted September 22, 2017 I like to think Muffs are something in-between a fuzz and distortion pedal . . . But it all depends on how you dial it in, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
