    my double muff seems to be one of my more picky pedals…it sound really good with some guitar and amp combinations but, not good at all with other guitar and amp combinations….

    (I found this to be ture with many pedals to greater and lesser degrees….my keeley modded blues driver is also very picky)

    IMH experience it seems like lower K pick ups works better with it then the higher K pick ups (ie: hotter PUs)…

    anyone with similar experiences?

    Actually I have had the exact opposite experience… I find the quieter pickups to really shine with the Double Muff, that way you can play almost clean on the quieter notes but get a delicious fuzzy OD when you dig in a little bit. However, in regards to it being picky – make sure you are running it before any other effects (or at least before any with buffered bypass). It is really particular about this; if you run it after any buffers, you get a really harsh/trebley sound. I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but I figured it was worth mentioning – it took me a really long time to figure that out because I wasn’t entirely sure which of my effects were true bypass.

    It seems like a tone knob for the second muff setting would really help out the double muff be more amp friendly.

    For definite.
    I’m thinking of a name that isn’t too..ahem..risky,
    but if we’re talking sag then I’m all out of names for the pedal lol.

    Or, the pedal that I keep meaning to getting around to building: two Big Muffs with the associated gain, tone, and volume knobs for each circuit.
