    Hi All,

    Can anyone tell if there is any difference between Double Muffs circuits REV A and REV 2?
    I just realised that these in big boxes have at least two different revisions and on the pictures they look a bit different….

    I had both and there was a slight difference in the basic tone, one being slightly thicker more bassier. Unfortunately I cant remember which was which!

    I still have both.
    Here are some hi-res pictures of the inside:

    Besides the difference in layout and box caps vs greenies, the only ‘real’ difference is the transistors.
    Rev A has 2N5088 and rev 2 (and rev 3) has BC550B. The silkscreen on the pcb says BC550C, but the actual transistors are BC550B.
    The seemingly missing 47pF ceramic cap in rev 2 is soldered on the back of the pcb.

    I remember there’s a slight difference in tone but I’d have to A-B them again to see where they differ. It was subtle though.
    Rev A is on my board. Rev 2 which came with a wooden box is in my ‘collection’.

    The effect is essentially 2 silicon Fuzz Faces in series.
    Put it first in line and roll back your guitar’s volume control for excellent clean up.
