Members franjo Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 dear forumites, i want to try and get an answer on this thing:i had bought a big muff in 1988. about tne years later, i noticed that it pushes the clean signal SERIOUSLY when off. (when working, the volume is high enough to record directly into my tape machine, anyway.) does anybody know what sort of amplification occurs in the big muff? franjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RitalinCupcake Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I don't know why but mine does that too. Mine is an IC Muff I bought new in 79 or 80. The strange thing is I never noticed it until maybe 10 years ago, I don't know if I missed it all those years or if it's related to something else in my rig. It's actually not a bad lo-fi, light overdrive kind of sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrSage Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Yeah, I noticed that when I was fixing (((echo)))'s IC muff. The input signal actually goes through a gain stage before going to the output when the pedal is in bypass mode. Funky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird that you can't bypass it at all, but you can see why they designed it that way...Muffs are such tone suckers that having a built-in buffer would be tres handy.
