Members deluxe74 Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 I know this is prolly a common delema, but anyways, I love the big muff pedal, but it would take up too much space on my board, so is the little muff as good a sound quality as the big muff?

Members Noise... Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 No. It's quite a bit muddier. If you want the sound of the big NYC version, there isn't another option aside from the big NYC version. You CAN, however, rehouse it quite easily. It has a relatively small circuitboard, and the knobs aren't soldered on to the main board. I've seen rehouses that make them really, really small. Personally, despite the extra room it takes, I love my NYC Big Muff. I also love the mojo of the big housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmcquain Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 I find the Little Big Muff is great for that Santana type tone if you set everything at about 10 o'clock. I like it for that smooth Les Paul sound when playing single note lines above the 7th fret or so but it gets pretty muddy on chords down around the first 5 frets.

Members bedtime Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 imo the lbm sounds a lot like the green russian muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackjack davey Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 LBMs are a little muddier and bassier than the NYC and they seem to limited in their sweep ranges. IMO the NYC is clearer and more versitale than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted January 6, 2008 Members Share Posted January 6, 2008 There are other manufacturers that make Muff-style pedals in smaller enclosures. Skreddy pedals make about a million Big Muff variants, but are a little pricey. BYOC just brought out their new version Large Beaver kit, which is in an MXR size box, clones either a Ram's Head or Triangle-era Muff, and also includes a switch to give you a stock Muff, flat mids, mid boost and tone bypass. You can order these pedals pre-built or build the kit yourself, which isn't as complicated as you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
