Uh, hey, by the way, found that the Germanium OD tweaked and fidelt
in bias and volts plays like a Fuzz Face type of pedal.gematherMemberI always play different types of Big Muff Pi’s. I like to (treble)boost them
to reach more of the metal style way.The Germanium Muff is equipped with tone control and some of my favourite units
for this job. The Germanium OD needs an extra treble booster to fit in. But it is
a easier box to fiddle with. On exact point it has a break up, that is unreached.Harmonix is King!
gematherMemberThe regular Fuzz Face has no tone control and no bias knob.
Is there space left to think up?gematherMemberIn the end every Big Muff Pi from Mike is just a version up to the nerve of the time. At least there circuitry is similar. Slightly differences here and there.
The Bass Muff has a slightly changed tone filter.
The Reissue has differences in the coupling caps.August 19, 2017 at 5:38 pm in reply to: Paint the NYC Big box Big Muff green and name it civil war limited with Sovtek guts. #123069gematherMemberThank you, for the brand new Nano Green Russian.
gematherMemberReduce the peak of the input signal with a compressor.
gematherMemberYeah, great guitarsound. Very fuzzy but transparent.
Your conclusion seems legit to me.I personaly get distorted sounds out of the Big Muff with a treble booster in front.
But that fits more stoner metal.I don’t think the Big Muff is a stand alone unit when played with guitar.

The LM2904N is also possible, but it is a low power version.gematherMemberWhy don’t buy a Germanium 4 Big Muff.
It is germanium and has a tone knob also.
Usefull as a treble booster with the addition of
the possibility of overdrive and distort your signal.gematherMember1.) The *noise* comes out of the pick up of the guitar it is doubled
into the distortion circuit. When you filter the *Noise*/hum/his
before it gets into the distortion circuit it can not be doubled.
The distortion unit itself is quiet.2.) My Big Muff is the last effect in my signal path.
Try to put the moddeling pedal in front of it.March 28, 2016 at 3:20 pm in reply to: How to identify the newest NYC Big Muff Reissue version. #121382gematherMemberupdate:
At least i got the newest version of the NYC Big Muff straight out of the
box and it got the standard boss style 9V adapter plug in. No 1/8″ mono jack.February 13, 2016 at 8:54 pm in reply to: How to identify the newest NYC Big Muff Reissue version. #121267gematherMemberI think it is the Boss style 9V Adapter.
gematherMemberThe first NYC Reissue Big Muff has reversed polarity.
gematherMemberI had to proove what i was saying.
The Blogger needs to bee put in front of the treble booster.
All fuzz pedals need to be put in front of the booster,
because you must have the ability to dial the fuzz with the guitarvolume.Once i was more the distortion type of guy.
Since the posting above i messed arround with fuzz pedals
and my guitarvolume in front of my beloved Big Muff Pi’s.gematherMemberI had such an issue with the bipolar 100uF capacity.
There is only one inside, the others are ceramic. -
