Controversial opinion
I don’t think it’s all that good. I may just have a faulty unit, but my muff hisses like god knows what. I would personally not recommend, and would instead suggest either the bass big muff deluxe, or the Russian big muff.

cheap fuzz
Of course Big Muff is a classic. Russian Green Muff gives great bass fuzz, but this is another story. EHX Bass Big Muff will give you fuzz tone which you would like or hate. I prefer to blend DRY signal with EFFECTED. There is a fail that boosts audio when you turn up the volume which acts as a blend in "DRY" mode. You can live with it in cases when you want to put fuzz in some song moments. But adjusting it to signal without pedal is tricky. If you don't like blending you can use it's splitter which can send distorted and clean signals parallel. I also like this pedal on guitar. Anyway, it's cheap and a good strart point.

Great Fuzz Pedal
Since I bought this pedal it has been my main fuzz pedal and this is because it helps me get the tone I wanted.

Good!!!
You can't really argue against this pedal - it does what it's meant to do with just enough controls to remain versatile. I'll check back to rate the durability in 10 years time. See you then!
An extra plus is that it sounds great through a guitar :)

Simply the muff
I have no much things to say. This is the Muff; you must try the sound of it. This pedal is really useful thanks to the splitter out (effect and dry) so you can work a lot with mixing the dry with the effect on several amps. Electro Harmonics always make a well-crafted pedals so it's really difficult to broke it. I played it in several shows, with dust, mud, beer and many other lethal atmospherical agents and it still works very well as the d1. Thank you EH for made this little beast.

Nice
Awesome fuzz i love it, also powerful on keyboards and drum machines !

My favorite distortion pedal.
Three knobs and a three-way switch make this distortion pedal a great choice for any bassist no matter if they're on a budget or not (I got mine used for about $60). Combined with the wah pedal I have, it sounds great and is perfect for any rock or metal due to its versatile sound (something I love to find in instruments, amps and effects).

The only bad pedal from EHX
This Big Muff is a great crowd-pleaser due to its low price and authentic sound. Yet you will end up realizing that any older version of a Big Muff Pi will not only sound better, but actually last longer than 5 years. This pedal does deserve more than 2 stars, but this is just to tell you: might as well find an old one.

One of my favourite distorsions
This pedal can give you the heaviest, filthiest tone you can get on a bass, but also add just a little of dirt with the switch set to dry, maintaining your signal unaltered. This is a must have pedal if you plan to crush everyone's lungs and teeth
