Members onyxrhino Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 Picked one of these up for cheap about a month ago. I've been really enjoying it ever since. It's got a nice sound to it. It's a muff but it seems tighter, less hissy, and maybe a bit woolier than the EHX reissues I've tried. It seems like a great cheap pedal I never hear anyone talk about and I was wondering if anyone else was using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 WHat does it look like? They have a new(er) BB9 Bottom Booster pedal I'm kind of interested in too, good price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Folky_Grunge Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 Apparently Mark Arm used to use one; when I found that out, I was interested, but could never find anything out about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edkoppel Posted July 30, 2011 Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's actually the same circuit as the square switch OD-850... but with totally different components.It still sounds good, especially for the $30-$45 you're likely to get one for, but the OD-850 is probably the BEST all around Muff I have ever played. check this thread for some ultra nerdiness about those pedals:http://stompboxes.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AidyCM Posted July 30, 2011 Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 Those enclosures scare the living {censored}e out of me. I'm not a big, heavy guy but I'm terrified that they'll give way under my size 11 converse of wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wiklund87 Posted July 30, 2011 Members Share Posted July 30, 2011 I own one and I think it's quite decent for what I paid...the contruction is solid enough... I trust the soundtank switches more than the tone-lock ones Here's Ibanez' description of the pedal: "Buzz saw" overdrive based on the classic fuzz pedals from the 60's and 70's. Also useful for "Brit-pop" style distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
