ugh

big muff fans do NOT get excited and start asking me to sell you this.... I've had this forever and its super-broken. If I did fix it, it would not be original. All the transistors are shot. It looks like a previous owner immersed it in a swimming pool. Big muffs are pretty overrated anyway and one sounds much like another. I'll bet some dude got sick of the mid scoop and flushed it down the toilet. I really intended to fix this up back when iw as into muffs but a friend of mine has a very similar ram's ehad that works and I was really underwhelmed by it and I pretty much then switched over to tonebenders and rats then.

Good, but not for everybody.

Sound varies between fuzzy/sludgy and edgy. It's very good for stoner rock/metal. When a friend plugged in his ukelele it sounded very nice, you could play punk with an ukelele.
