Riffster Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 So I got an e-mail from my credit card company telling me how many points I had accumulated, I figured they would have crappy offerings. I did a "guitar" search and found I could redeem my points for a $100 gift card for guitar center. I think I am getting a BIg Muff, the one with the tone wicker. I can't believe Russian Muffs have gone up in price since discontinued. Also I found this cool site with a lot of info on Muffs http://www.kitrae.net/music/music_big_muff.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Yeah I shoulda kept my russian Muff. I sold it for like 20 bones. Just got a NYC and sounds awesome but the switch is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sweet. Are you talking about the recent black Russian ones? I see people selling those for $75 on craigslist all the time. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sell mine but it isn't worth jack so I might as well keep it. The Russians have a lot of crappy parts that piss me off. The jacks especially. I'd pick up an NYC if I found a sweet deal on one. They're kindof inconviniently big though. I really want a Musket or a Hoof. I just picked up a Torn's Peaker though so that gave me a nice little fuzz fix.

GIANTRobOT42O Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The TP rocks Dub. You know you can get the DIY kits for $25 at Devi's site. I wanna make a Shoegazer yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The Russian ones are pretty sweet. I just don't like the size on the NYC ones, however since you are getting the one with Tone Wicker, its smaller. Huge part of my sound, I could almost strip my board down to the Big Muff and a delay if I wanted to, good on ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 The Russian versions seem to be going up in price on eBay, some of the older ones go for more. The reason may be demand by Bass players though not guitar players. The Little Big Muff is the same circuit as the Big Muff pretty much in a much smaller size.

I bought mine at a GC for 50 bucks, not too bad. Some guy offered me 70 as I was leaving for it, I loved it too much. You'll find a lot of people bashing on the tone wicker because the "tone isn't there on the smaller models" but the wicker switch makes it a very versatile pedal (comparatively to the standard model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna make a Shoegazer yo Yeah I'm pretty stoked about the TP. It's my kinda fuzz. Dang dude $25 is sweet. I'm gonna check that out. I might have to get a Soda Meiser now to complete the Shoegazer. If you want me to screenprint an enclosure for you send me the art an an enclosure and I'll do it for free. Fred you would dig the Torn's Peaker. I'm pretty sure our main man Dan uses one. Either way.. It's sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon S. Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'd sell mine but it isn't worth jack so I might as well keep it. The Russians have a lot of crappy parts that piss me off. The jacks especially. +1. I've got a Green Russian BMP that was gutted because the jacks and switch kept going out.. It's got a Triangle board in there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I actually use the tone switch on mine, but the wicker may as well say, "add unwanted feedback" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely want the additional versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
