    Use this diagram, make all the changes in green. This is a NYC muff with a green sovtek muff tonestack.

    On the diagram, “R” is for Ohms and “uF” is for microfarads.

    I own 2 Russians MUFF. One came with the wooden box and the other the newer China made units. I still prefer the old one since it has more volume and the knobs are tighter to twist. Newer one in my opinion feels a lil ‘cheap’ … lighter weight black box compared with the old one.

    For the sound, I like them for those Santana-licks and grunge sound.

    As far as I know they are still made in russia, not china. The parts are still Russian I know that.

    yeah, maybe they are importing cases into russia too now? might explain the slightly different cases on the newer ones…

    But if it is made in china now, then it can’t be called a russian muff.

    Yeah, I might be wrong bout the China Muffs… sorryt bout that :(

    It’s just that the newer casing now feels a lil bit lighter and more fragile compared to the Russian Muffs that came with the wooden box.

    been thinking about a russian muff for my first one…based on some online youtube demos, i think the thick lower end will be a better fit, but im looking for something a little more on the overdrive side rather than full on.

    out of all the XO muffs out there, are there any that you would recommend that can handle a low tuning? im going CGCGCF, so lower by a third on the 6 th string — and a 1/2 step higher on the top two. it also need s to be able to handle chordal work well.

    bazsed on Julian’s post on page 1, bass big muff seems a contender, but i wondr how it handles the top end….

    looking forward to any additional thoughts …
