I don’t have a russian muff (only a usa) but for me I like the sustain pretty much maxed out, the volume a little over my clean signal and the tone somewhere between 11 and 1 o’clock…..but it really depends what amp you are using, you might find a better way to have it for yourself.

My settings currently is - Volume MAX;Sustain;MAX TONE 12 O’clock,sometimes I like to set the tone at max,but not always

This the only way to use a Big Muff IMO.

Here’s my tone wicker muff. Just got it today.

(Edit: Thanks, Ned! I think I got it figured out now.)

Very intresting :D

Just added this little thing: a Muff Fuzz from 1975 or thereabouts

I think it sounds great…if a tad noisy. Any of you familiar with these? It has some of the worst soldering I’ve ever seen, so I’m going to retouch everything, probably replace the wiring and the jacks. Wondering if it’s be worth replacing the caps too. Any suggestions for taming the noise any much appreciated.

I want to make mu muff’s sound a little more metal,shoud I boost it with overdrive?If yes,wich one?

You can add another gain stage to the big muff by using an LPB1 in front of it.

And,how it will sound?Actually i tried to do it with the virtual overdrive,it was terrible :D there was a big noise :D

It sounds goob IMo, the first stage of the big muff is similar to a LPB1 anyways.
