well I guess I kind of put it wrong

the old Little Big Mufffrom the 70’s has one knob and a tone switch.

Of the new Little Big Muffs- there are two versions, I don’t know exactly when they switched- but the pictures usually show MK1.  You’ve got MK2.  Besides the knobs being switched, we don’t know if there is any difference.

Oh, I think I’ve got it now. I’m new to EHX, I met the brand like 5 months ago and started building up my pedalboard just a couple of months ago, so I really dunno if there is any differences among the reissues and the originals, but there always are

I had one quite a while ago with the “backwards” controls that sounded just awful. My volume had to be at 10 for any sort of fuzz effect at all. I ordered it online and sent that beeotch back after a day. Now I bought one last weekend with the controls in the right places that sounds just amazing and works impeccable with my setup.
Come to think of it, I had a Micro Q-Tron with a “backwards” band pass knob. The low pass was actually high pass, ect. That sounded like garbage, too.

wierd, I had one of the newer ones didn’t like it as much as my ‘NY Big Muff’ I thought it was very dark, it sounded like there was no presence at all….pick up one of the older ones with the vol/sustain round the wrong way and I love the thing, it’s brighter and a lot fuzzier and has a lot more volume…...wierd, other than personal taste I can’t explain it.

I used a Little Big Muff exclusively on my band’s demo. I actually intended to use my Fuzz Factory but it picked up radio in the studio and we couldn’t do anything about it, so I used the LBM that my bandmate had along. I loved that thick, ballsy tone. Had a lot of fun with it and am now waiting to have a look at the tone wicker version to decide which one I should get. It won’t replace the FF, that’s a totally different animal, but it’s a color I want to have in my arsenal.  :rawk:

Hha i have a backwords one too, but my awsome girl friend had the smarts to go out and by me the XO litle big muff and i could not love her more! its just such a huge dirty sustaining mess of joy on my board it thinkens up the tone of my mesa 5:50 for sure

where did you get a backwards one?

i think she got it at guitar center
