Silenced Fred Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Bought a Russian Big Muff, sounds great. It's like a second "Channel 2" on my Sunn, but with a little different sound. Easily play with the tone knob to go from smooth to a nasty breakup. I started playing my Strat again too, great neck, single humbucker pickup might get changed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Lol it's amazing what influence your idols can have on you. A while ago I kept telling you to get one but you didn't like them. Now you listen to some Black Keys and all the sudden they're cool. Good on ya though. I hardly use mine anymore but I still dig it. The trick is keep the output high and the "sustain" not so high. I usually have the tone knob about 60-75% up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only experience was with the American version, and I didn't care for it It kicks *** though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer it to the American made one. and it's just like another dirty channel on my Sunn. It's almost the exact same. Cool stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh James Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Key's use the old green russian muff's, different sound than the black box, which is still a cool pedal! Congrats bro! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 The infamous green muff.. I definately prefer the Russian over the NY made one. The Russian is really fussy and I feel like I have to dial it in every time I use it even when the settings are the same as they were when it was sounding good before. Mine has been heavily abused. I feel kinda bad about how poorly I've treated it. When I got it it was like $45 or $50. But in my first "band" I was all about blasting my SG with gnarly Big Muff action. So I always like it because of that. My drummer from that band is a total metal head and he always loved the SG/ Muff combo. It sounds like Sabbath. Teles sound really sweet in the Muff too.

Versatile Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I had the black Russian Muff a few years ago before the American one re-entered the fray. It rasped well (for those who like rasp). I now have the American one which looks nicer and has more adjustments and, I believe, more gain ultimately. But less rasp..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones have much more gain, but I like this one a lot, just adds that nice bit of dirt. Who knows? I might pick up an american one sometime, but I have a Swollen Pickle for that pounding super crazy stuff, which I love. I'll work on posting a clip once my parents leave... Saturdays nobody in my neighborhood wakes up until like 11... I would get the cops called on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Who comes up with these names? I've only seen videos of these. They sound pretty good. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Oh yeah and as usual.... BYOC has a totally badass clone of the old Ram's Head Muff. Way cooler than a new one IMO and probably cheaper. Yeah rasp. The Russian gets real raspy with the tone cranked. It sounds more fuzzy toned down a little though.

I just love it for really thickening up the sound. That, along with the Swollen Pickle will give me Black Keys tone for days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
