They’re cheap! And I’m avoiding the obvious Muff/muff joke here, I mean it. For less than $100 CDN you can get a fantastic sounding fuzz. It’s nice to know that still happens!

they won’t let me link to my music, The Great Canadian Viagra Prohibition, because it looks like spam. but you can look me up on Bandcamp should you so desire: http://canadian*iagra.bandcamp.com, except replace the * with a v.

100$? You can get them much cheaper used… And seeing that your canadian too, these days it’s better to sell than buy… So less pedal buying for me these days.

That’s what everyone thinks
but if you can afford to spend your money, it’s best right now to snatch those cheap deals. When the economy is bad it is the worst time to sell and the best time to buy.
If you fear for the value of the Canadian dollar going down, putting it into physical assets is a good way of saving.
Not to mention holding onto your money hurts the economy, spending puts money into the economy and helps everyone.
People’s reluctance to spend money right now because the economy is bad is one of the biggest things hurting the economy.

The Big Muff needs no reviews, it is already a firmly established classic.

Great sounding fuzz! Played through single coil (American Strat) produces almost glassy, alternative sounding distortion (through my setup anyways). Humbuckers really set this thing off, though. Sounds very good, can almost get a Jimmy Page like tone even playing a Hamer Duotone! I use it with either one of my Strats, my Jackson, or my drummer’s Hamer- takes a bit of tweaking to get the tone you want, but that rings true to any stomper.

The Big Muff…. You can always turn down the volume on your guitar and you can get some great tones out of this box. Indeed a classic and used by many. Single coils and Muff go together well. Play around with your Guitar’s Volume and Tone Controls and you can dial in something great. Fuzz On Fuzz Off.

If anyone is planning on putting vocals through a Big Muff make sure you’re wearing a cup,
it will shake you and the ground you’re standing on.

Who cares if a muff is noisey when your not playing, you dont do gigs to not play or sit down with your rig to not play.

....the people that plug into 20 pedals with them all turned off just to show how great the bypass is…..“listen, hear how uneffected my tone is” ...... play a few blues riffs, pack up and go home. :D

I really don’t care if mine is noisey. and if it does get annoying, ill turn down the volume of my guitar or just turn off the pedal.

FUZZ (EHX Staff) - 02 December 2008 10:24 AM Fuzz is Noise and Noise is Fuzz. It’s the beauty of these boxes. Stay away from fluorescent lights…. they are your enemy!
Too true.
Our old practice space had flo-lights and it made everything sound like a robot having a breakdown in a filing cabinet…tinny and humming.

About Big Muff Pi and “true bypass”. I’ve had an older version of the Pi (switch with 6 lungs) for a few years and it effected the bypassed tone a great deal: the sound was muddier and it cut the highs significantly, seemed to “eat the sound” so to speak. This problem occurred with a 9V battery and with adapter.
So… I bought the latest version of the Muff Pi (the one that should be “true bypass” according to EHX). Well, it’s not. It also cuts the highs, but doesn’t eat the sound nearly as much as the older version.
I have lot of pedals in my pedalboard, but all the testing was done with just a VOX ac 30, Fender Jazzmaster and the Muff.
The bottom line: This pedal effects the bypassed sound only that little that now I can deal with the muff being a part of my board. It’s a lot easier than dealing with no Big Muff at all…still love the sound of the pedal.
