Members Keith SIO Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 I owned a russian muff before, and I might pick one up again just because they are affordable. I have a woolly mamoth, so my over the top fuzz taste is satisfied. However, i hear people rave about the little big muff on bass...Which do you prefer, russian or little big? Also, is little big muff TB?
Members BassMaster General Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 I've got one of the green Russian ones and have been pretty happy with it.No tone loss, lots of bottom end. Tried one of the US ones a few years back and actually liked the Russian one better.
Members Grumpy_Polecat Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 I like little naked muffs, myself.

Members Grumpy_Polecat Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 So that's not really a Big Muff preference is it? In a completely antithetical way it is...
Members NeonVomit Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 I love my Russian one. Tried an American one, it was good, but Russian was cheaper and there didn't seem to be much of a massive difference so I got it. Playing 'Freezing Moon' by Mayhem was never the same, ever again
Members BeeTL Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 Surprisingly, Google Image Search yields nothing but effect pedals, even with Safe Search turned off!
Members RIC N BACKER Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 Big muff's are fine as long as they are tight and trimmed nicely.
Members SpaceGhost Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 Some of the old Green tank-looking Sovtek muffs are simply amazing sounding, the construction on those things are HORRID though. I really dig the new Little Big Muff which actually sounds like a compromise between the Russian and NYC muffs (also has true bypass).

Members Funkee1 Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 The list of responses in my head to this thread title is amazing!!! Must.......not.....parody............!!!
Members bassplayinguy Posted March 18, 2007 Members Posted March 18, 2007 I use a LBM but I also run it through a blending pedal to throw some of the original signal back into it. It tightens it up and helps with not getting lost in the mix. I used to have a Russian on, which I really liked, but it was way too big for my pedal board. The LBM does seem like a compromise between the NYC and russian though, which is nice.
Members RockBass Posted March 28, 2007 Members Posted March 28, 2007 I use the Russian one as well. The only disadvantage is that it runs on 9V battery only.
