    I’d hop, skip and jump on over to my local music shop if they re-issued this beast!
    Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s a Big Muff Pi with a Soul Preacher attached for some brutal compressed fuzz. I’d love to see it in the new casing like the current Memory Man and Q Tron sized pedals.

    it wasn’t really compressed fuzz, the compressor was going in parallel with the fuzz so you could blend the clean signal into it or a different distortion sound that you have running in front
    i used to have one and it was super fun
    also, the big muff was the IC circuit
    it seems a lot more beneficial for a bass guitarist to blend the clean signal in (in fact the guy i sold mine too was a bassist)

    I like this idea, the pedal sounds great, so I guess a lot of Big Muff fan’s would buy one.

    I have the later version with the Series/Parallel switch, which allows you to put the compressor in front of the fuzz for super-long sustain. I like it much, much, much better than running it in parallel.

    I can’t say that it’s one of my favorite EHX vintage pedals. It’s cool, but not cooler than the vintage PolyPhase, the Muff Fuzz Crying Tone, or a vintage Electric Mistress.

    Sounds sweet!

    That’s a great idea, I would buy one in a heartbeat. I like the idea of having a compressor in the same pedal, I prefer compressors before fuzz or any other distortion pedal. Better sustain.

    If it would be some sort of reissue of the version with the Series/Parallel switch it would be great, maybe with a bass boost and a tone wicker version to make it extra Deluxe, but I think commercialy for EHX that wouldn’t be a good idea.. But it would be a very diverse big muff if they would do it like that!
