Members Lanefair Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 So I'm on to my Large Beaver build, but I have to choose between triangle and rams head specs. Am I right in thinking that triangle is much sought after and pink floydish etc and the rams head is heavier? I don't need my muff to be brutal, but i don't want an overdrivey muff either, I want to go from white stripes rythm to infinite sustaining leads. Advise me all the way.

Members english_bob Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Buy two.Seriously, doesn't the kit come with sockets for the various transistors so you can switch between the two? If not, how much desoldering is involved in changing everything around between the two?IIRC there are... hang on a sec....wy2kiZBadtk Ram's HeadE4XaywTSYbQ TriangleI'm buggered if I can tell the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lanefair Posted July 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 There's a lot more to it than swapping transistors, it's resistors etc. As much as I'd like to have the option to change specs, I'll probably never care enough to get round to it (although I care enough to make the right choice now, strange huh). Listening to those I'd probably go for the triangle, but I couldn't say why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gloryboy1981 Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 I asked the same question after watching those 2 vids in a row. I can hear very little difference between the versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members english_bob Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Is it just me, or do the Big Muff demo videos on Youtube sound like ass?I don't get it. Does turning on a Muff suddenly bypass all your skillz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lanefair Posted July 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 There are a lot of ways to make a muff sound like {censored} unfortunately. But for solos I find it milky smooth. It's hard to describe. I remember getting my LBM for christmas and my gf was like 'why would you want to sound like that?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BryanMichael Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 I just got a DiceWorks Muff Diver Finale on Ebay a week ago and I am unbelievably impressed with it! It has 4 toggle switches and has 24 combinations of tones- I will never want another fuzz again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to describe. I remember getting my LBM for christmas and my gf was like 'why would you want to sound like that?' Weird. I'm really tempted to build the BYOC Muff kit because it seems like it would be a fairly versatile heavy distortion/fuzz box (not totally sold on my Tonebender/Fuzzface for that job), and the whole "legendary classic stompbox" thing probably affects that somewhat, but half the time I hear Muffs they sound rotten. That said, Gearmandude (is he or isn't he Jack Black?!) has a pretty cool sounding shootout video up: [YOUTUBE]6wrq9o_tw48[/YOUTUBE] Now if that's what a Big Muff sounds like, I'll be happy.
