Just? why say just? The RI’s are cool and will be classics in 30 years dude!

Sorry, the reissue big muffs are amazing, and I enjoy playing mine a lot. And they probably will be a classic in 30 years. I said just because it’s not like I have an old one from like 35 years ago. Know what I’m saying?

Finally got around to taking some more pics.
So, here’s a couple of family shots of my muffs.

That’s a v3 3003 BMP with BC239C transistors, a v6 3034 tone switch w/ S2N5088, and the v2 Lamb’s Head 3003 muff with FS36999 I posted earlier.

nice collection

This is my old big muff

The Sustain knob is inside the case in that photo. Sine then I drilled a hole in it to mount the pot. However, I’m in the middle of rehousing it, since the fuzz face casing is so damn huge.

These are my two belovedmuffs. The first one is a little big muff which is probably my favorite of the two. It has a classic muff sound. The other one is a Black Russian Muff which I modded by taking some transistors out to increase the gain. It’s definetly an underrated muff with some real awesome sounds. My dream muff though, would be a rams head muff. So if anyone is looking to give their away let me know

The [LR]amb’s Head* 3003 w/ FS36999 is awesome, but you can get the later v3 3003 w/ BC239C (red/black graphic) for way less money and they still sound great. Keep your eyes open; sometimes you see people selling those as NYC muffs, but it is a [LR]am’s Head inside…same circuit board even, and the same transistors as later [LR]amb’s Heads.
(See my pic above)

*Which is is BTW? Ram’s / Lamb’s ? Neither makes much sense anyway, I don’t see any sheep on the pedal. Where did that come from?
(What is that little face thing supposed to be anyway?)

lol, I saw an ebay auction once that called it a ‘monkey face’  :D

It looks like some hippy dude with wild hair to me…....maybe some acid casualty from the late 60’s!!!

Here’s my keeper - a late ‘70s Pi Deluxe:

very nice, how does it sound? I’ve never tried one…they are very scarce in the UK.

Thanks - it’s absolutely brilliant in a very in-your-face way, especially with the compressor engaged. It runs from liquid sustain with some fur around the edges to an all-out howling sonic assault with barely controlable harmonics. It can get one very, very close to DSotM-era Gilmour to utter mayhem, about as subtle as being poked in the face with a 440v cattle prod on a wet muggy day.

In short - it’s fun!

LOL! sounds great. :D

Here are a few of my Vintage Big Muffs..
