try to turn the gain and volume down...

 

 

... on the other hand i had a hate phase with my big muff, it was my only dort and i wanted something else more overdrive like. so i got a ts-9, ditched the big muff of the board. a year or so later i tried the muff again and felled in love, but for different reasons, now i have both on the board and its heaven.

give it break

Wow, really? I've never noticed that here. People pretty much regard the Big Muff as one of, if not the, greatest fuzzes ever.

 

I find the sound of mine varies with different amps in how much I like it/set it.

 

The Blues Jr. is probably just a shitty amp to run it with. The Big Muff still rocks, though. :)

It's a pretty specific sound, those big muffs. I personally think you get it or you don't. Personally, I don't like big muffs. Other people have sounded great with them, but we just don't get along for some reason.

 

If you don't like it, it's okay. You said you had other effects. You should play with them :love:

You just need to find the sweet spot on the tone knob, I like it almost all the way down.

 

yeah, I've only just realised that myself the other day, there's like a little spot where you seem to find more mids....like you say almost all the way anti-clockwise....I used to keep it somewhere around 12:00, but that isn't the way to do it with a muff, it a bit wierd that tone control....I guess it's just the usual EHX madness. :)

For what it's worth, my recent NYC Muff is pretty much unusable through the Vibrato on my DRRI (tinny and unattractively distorted) - Sounds fantastic through the Normal channel, though.

 

If it didn't sound so good through the other channel, I'd've ditched it right away.

 

2 cents -
