I’m wondering if it will be 3 knobs and no flip switches or if it will take any cues from the newer dirt pedals like the Germanium OD and the BMTW.

exciting stuff . Maybe it’ll be a *gasp* cleaner Muff? Perhaps a bonafide overdrive :O

hope its got tone bypass for fuzz face tones w/ muff gain

Whoa!

I love germanium pedals.

They are elite.

This would be really interesting.

I’m trying not to let my imagination get the better of me.

I just ordered my boutique fuzz pedal, and am awaiting it, I would like a germanium muff to replace my current big muff.

This is exciting.

I think it would still sound quite different from a Fuzz Face, the circuits are really quite different. 

If you want a cleaner muff, I’d think one thing you could do would be adding a switch to bypass the clipping diodes.

The Hoof is a Germanium (well, half anyway) muff. I don’t think just using Ge trannies is going to magically make a muff circuit somehow sound like a FF.

if anything it will probably sound filthier…. it all depends on the gain of the trannies really I suppose.

Cool!

I love the digital stuff too, but I’m always pumped to see more analog stuff coming out.

The Germanium OD is seriously underrated.

yea, its nice to see more analog stuff coming out, because a lot of the newer pedals coming out are digital.

I could see the EHX Germanium Muff being half germanium too.  Germanium transistors are expensive. 

They could also put germanium clipping diodes in as well.

I think I speak for everyone on this forum when I bellow WHEN CAN WE SEE IT?!?

It would have been nice if the interviewer would have asked him that, wouldn’t it have been??

It’s hard to tell with them.  A pedal seems to take about 6-10 months from the time we’ve initially heard about it.  Unless we initially hear about it at NAMM, in which it takes 2-5 months. 

This is just guessing by EHX’s history.  I’ve really got no clue.  Only they know where they are in the development process, and even they can be inaccurate.

The sweet’D!

I prefer silicon pedals, but if its a big muff I’ll buy one anyways.

I always thought the Big Muff was Germanium.

Nup, only silicon transistors and IC’s (which contain a bunch of silicon transistors).

Oh man! Sweet Hendrix tones…..Triangle Muff Graphics….......

WHEN???
