Members surfcat Posted September 27, 2009 Members Share Posted September 27, 2009 Here's the deal-I like the sound-it's better than my Dod Classic Fuzz, which is supposed to be similar, but I don't use that pedal, mostly because I like using overdrive/distortions with an already overdriven amp. I don't think a muff is suited for that. I can see me buying one and liking it but not having it on my board for that reason. I have a fuzzface and a Rat (2 actually). Is it useful at all if your amp's not set clean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod2u Posted September 27, 2009 Members Share Posted September 27, 2009 if it won't be on your board then really whats the point? i'm a believer in if you aren't going to use it much don't buy it. some people just happen to like fuzz faces more. some like tonebenders more. muffs do have a place but its not for everyone.

Members grayeyes777 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 monsterpiece pnp. you'll get a lot more usability out of it in comparison to the muff. less mudd. less scoop. reacts better to a dirtier amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlantsberger Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, muffs are useful into a dirty amp. What kind of amp are you using? Muff > overdriven Marshall = It does depend on your preferred flavor of fuzz, though. Personally, I dig muffs over fuzz faces so if you're happy with the fuzz face you might just leave it alone. But considering that a used NYC RI is $50, I think it'd be worth giving it a shot to see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering that a used NYC RI is $50, I think it'd be worth giving it a shot to see if you like it. I'm using a Traynor Ycv40wr and a Jcm800 combo. I'm not totally happy with fuzzfaces, since they really like single coils-fine sometimes but they don't do well with hb's. I've tried a muff once, and like I said, I liked it-an Nyc USA one. I really like the GMD vid with the Ram's Head muff. Anyone got a Ram's head they'll trade for a Dod Classic Fuzz?:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Sarum Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you want a rams head muff. Send Matt at stompunderfoot a message, and ask him if he can make you a rams head clone. their pretty damn close, and aren't insanely priced.

Members grayeyes777 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 muff is already muddy and doesn't cut. i don't think it takes to dirty amps at all. i like the muff into a very clean channel. that's me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pinkzep52 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you already have a fuzzface then that should suit you better going into a dirty amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, how do you like the extension cab with your Traynor (is it the Traynor one?)? Does it fatten things up? I hear what you're saying about the fuzzface but isn't it a different kind of sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
