Anyone have gutshots of the op-amp muffs? Just curious, I’d like to see the boards, especially the ones with the 3003 board but op-amps instead of transistors.

Here’s some board shots I have.
The 3003b version:

The 1322 version:

And a version I’m unsure of:

What about the “Civil War” Big Muffs? How do they fit into the picture? I love love love mine… but would love an early era muff…

Any idea where I can buy knobs (either of those shown above, with a preference for those shown in the second image) as mine have disappeared

I wish they still had those footswitches.

The so called “civil war” muffs are almost identical to the green russians, they differ by a couple of component values. You used to be able to buy the green army muff knobs from small bear but they sold out, I scored a set luckily for my black muff. The civil war muffs have the same PCB layout as the first green russians BTW.

well they give far more vintage without true bypass, even though the newer models add some new features. Several people still agree that the original boards produce better tone. Everything could be better, but why improve on perfection?

Well actually maybe they designed the green board first but needed to perfect it so they released the “civil war” version but it’s my highly unlikely opinion.(actually just improvised but whatever.)

The civil war ones were out first, then came the green ones. They kept the civil war PCB layout and used it for the Green ones but changed the value of two caps. If you can hear the difference between any two civil war/green muffs then your pretty clever as the changes are negligible.

ANY two muffs of the same issue sound a little different anyways so trying to compare two muffs of different issues is not as feasible as it might seem as muffs vary so much in sound comparison is useless.
