Boutique muffs are kind of an oxymoron at the moment when you have such a good sounding pedal as the little big muff. Have you actually played either of those two booteek fuzzes?

Boutique muffs are kind of an oxymoron at the moment when you have such a good sounding pedal as the little big muff. I didn't like the Little Big Muff I had. I've played a lot of Muffs, and I can generally get an impression of one within a few minutes of plugging it in. The ICBM and Skreddy Zero were both instant winners, along with about 50% of the vintage green muffs I've had and all three vintage blue/gray muffs I've tried. The Little Big Muff went up on eBay shortly after it arrived at my apartment. I know Analog Mike was working on some mods for the LBM...there are plenty of things that can be improved on it. I might try one again once he's doing those more widely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockboxuk Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 you got a dud, its a big muff through and through. If you don't like the sound then you won't like the pedal. I know you like the sound so I assume you had a dud. To be honest as well I also think the black muff, the green muff and the usa reissue all sounded better than any clone. Each were a slightly different flavor of the muff but preserved the true nature of the muff. The clones imo miss the mojo the magic dust. They get similiar tones and sound good but in a almost tame sterile kind of way. Analogman has mods to make it sound like the big box usa reissue which is actually simple since the pedal is very close already. The triangle mod he is working on should be fookin awesome.

I thought it was supposed to be a play on text message culture. ICBM = I see Big Muff, you know, irony....Unless you can find one used the Skreddy is $40 more than the ICBM and has an 8 week waiting list. The ICBM could be shipped to you tommorrow.

The Skreddy pedals offer improvements on the Big Muff tone for those people who are looking for something better. Maybe that's not you & there's nothing wrong with that, Billy Corgan would probably be chanting right there along your side, but there some very real shortcomings that the Mayo & Top Fuel take care of.

Members orourke Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 I haven't tried the Skreddy but I can tell you about the Muffs I've owned or have spent some time with lately. I tend to use muffs for leads and usually but not always run them after a Keeley/Ibanez TS-9. MJM Foxey Fuzz - I love this muff, but it is quite noisey. It's the loudest, most aggresive muff of the bunch. The three knobs have large sweeps, so it's versatile. Vol. has a big boost, tone has a very large sweep. ICBM Fuzz - This one is sweet sounding, much quiteter than the MJM, much more tame, a little more transparent, less boost, less tone sweep. Little Big Muff - Somewhere between the MJM and the ICBM, this is the first fuzz to knock my MJM Foxey fuzz off my pedalboard in three years. It's a bit smoother than the Foxey but not as tame as the ICBM Frantone Peachfuzz - This one is a different animal all together. Much less transpartent than the three above. It seems to have some kind of compression and noise gate . I like it for recording, even on bass guitar, but it tends to get lost in the mix when playing with a live band.

Members gold_soundz Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 The big muff is my favourite pedal. I have an original IC muff and a US RI at the moment. Had a Rams head until recently but I sold it. I'm firmly of the opinion that all muffs Ive tried sound extremely similar and that the US RI is an excellent pedal. Classic muff sounds are the vintage ones. They differ between each other as much as the do with reissues (which is not a lot) If boutique muffs sound much different to the EH Reissues then they can't be very muffish. I've only heard an ICMB of the boutiques, and guess what, it sounded just like a big muff! Main advantages are build quality and bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have compared a GGG Muff kit to a Mayo. The Mayo wins but the GGG is a close second tied with the Sonic Mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
