  • Large enclosure may be unnecessary for some setups

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Electro-Harmonix Double Muff.

User experience

  • Owners find the pedal particularly effective for achieving a chimey or jangly clean sound by cranking the double setting and adjusting the guitar volume.

    Source
  • The pedal is appreciated for its simplicity in dialing in desired sounds, with just two knobs and a switch, making it easy to use despite limited tone-shaping options.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The Double Muff functions uniquely in double mode, with one dial as volume and the other as effect level, creating a distinct dirt pedal experience.

    Source
  • The single muff mode acts primarily as a boost, while the double muff setting provides a boosted overdrive sound rather than a traditional fuzz.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Owners find it well-suited for low-gain, slight fuzz tones, making it ideal for blues, though it's capable of heavier sounds.

    Source
  • Originally favored in punk/garage bands for its ability to cut through a live mix, it remains a versatile choice for gritty riffs.

    Source

Comparisons

  • It offers a distinct flavor compared to a regular Fuzz Face, though described as somewhat limited in single mode.

    Source
  • Though likened to a Fuzz Face, it features hard clipping diodes to ground, resulting in a more biting tone compared to typical Big Muff pedals.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • It’s optimal when placed first in the signal chain, benefiting from early placement despite not being germanium-based.

double the pleasure and double the fun.

2 muff fuzzes in one box, toggleable from the traditional cascaded LPB1 into 4 whopping LPB1s cascaded for ultimate filth! This captures some of the tones on Bowie's Aladdin Sane if set right into a big-ass british amplifier. Trashier then the original sand with an actual footswitch! I might trade this in for the Nano version as the enclosure is needlessly big.

It's a great pedal! Yes, it can sound very Mick Ronson, I've had fun playing 'Jean Genie' through it many a time. Try the Nano before you trade it though...they might have 'done' something to it! ha ha....

jimmarchi1

it seem unlikely though since its just a bunch of cascaded LPB1s.... I have an old muff fuzz too though, but you can't stomp that. Its an always on fuzz ;-)

Great pedal but might not suit everyone.

The classic Double Muff is an overdrive/fuzz, which consists of 2 Muff Fuzz circuits cascaded (whatever that means) into each other. The controls are very simple (and that's one of the things that makes this pedal so much fun to use for me), there's only one knob for each circuit, which adds volume and gain together, and a switch that lets you choose between using only one circuit (which gives a nice mid-boosting overdrive) and using both. When using both, one of them acts more like a volume control, and the other adds gain. You can get into fuzz territory when using both circuits together. Another nice feature is that you can clean the sound up A LOT using only the volume of the guitar. Then there's one issue, this pedal has to be the first in chain to sound good (even before a true-bypass tuner), if there's anything between the pedal and the guitar, you're in treble hell.

Used as a way to get a big muff sound without having to spend money on a big muff. This pedal also broke during a Peacehead show in Ohio and hasn’t been used since then.
