Members pheonix Posted September 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2010 looks good! have you picked up a double muff yet? That was my first EHX pedal- I've had mine for about 6 years. Love it- I think I prefer the sound of Muff "fuzzes" than I do Big Muffs. I think I just like mids! Heres a group photo:I'm planning on doing an uber comparison video asap with the Muff Fuzz, Muff Overdrive, Double Muff, 1974 Little Muff, and I do have something really cool that I'm waiting for to top my off collection with! I might have the Big Muff in there just for comparisons sake- everyone knows what a Big Muff sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted September 1, 2010 Members Share Posted September 1, 2010 how's the bypass on your older ones? the lbm that i had was pretty awful; you could still hear some muff when bypassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its pretty bad. Luckily I've got a true bypass looper so its not too much of an issue for me, but if I didn't it would bug the hell out of me!

Members Seth Carmody Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 I've only had a quick go and could only have my amp on very quietly, but it sounds completely different to the Muff Fuzz- it seems to have about half of the gain. Op amps for the win.Nice little family you're building there. Here's mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - those knobs indicate an older unit, early 70s for sure. Can't say for sure that it's a 60s unit, but it definitely could be from the triangle muff era pedal. See third from the left on the second lowest row, although some of those Ram's Heads look like they have these knobs too. I'd say it's at least pre-1975 mate.

Thats exactly what I thought, but that seems like a very early EHX- does 1967 make sense in terms of EHX history? I suppose the pots could of been made in 1967 but not used until later.

Members melx Posted December 13, 2010 Members Share Posted December 13, 2010 EHX was founded in 1968.. LPB-1 came out that year.. so the pedal can't be '67.... but it is very early I'd say .. could be 1970 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JRBain Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sounds great! I've been digging my Double Muff on the single setting lately. Sounds much like that. Really good sound. The only thing that annoys me about it is that it's not quite 'overdrive' and not quite 'fuzz' (by my definition). A great sound nonetheless.
