Electro-Harmonix Sovtek "Green Russian" Big Muff Pi V7C

This old EHX pedal has been known for it's aggressive fuzz-distortion sound specially in the stoner rock community. Countless recordings from the 90's were made with this beast. Rumour has it that te box of the pedal was made of the leftovers of Russian military vehicles and warmachines. Well it really sounds like a landslide, explosion, or the fallen angel blowing that trumpet.

if I am not using my DS-2, then I am most likely using the Sovtek Big Muff. I use it (combined with the JHS Unicorn and Small Clone) on almost every solo on every song I have played. it just is great and will 100% recommend.

We use it mostly on Rickenbacker bass. Sounds great.

This a grown to be my go to fuzz in the studio, and I have a lot of fuzz pedals!. A witch owned this before me and cast a mojo spell on it. It's the only possible explanation.

It's raunchy and rude and beautiful and I love it.

It have more bass than the NYC one. For me it sounds better. This is a piece of history. EHX sure did a big mistake when they stopped the Russian labeled series and called green muff a bass one. It is confusing.

Everyone knows about this one, and I don't think anybody would be unhappy with it. It is slightly smoother, more sustaining, less fuzzy than the Black Russian.

Series 7c Big Muff made in Russia. Thicker tone than US muffs with plenty of sustain.

Absolutely worth buying if you can find one for a decent price. For me, it's preferable to a standard Big Muff but not necessarily better. It's a monster though.

everything you hate about the big muff now with extra low end swamp, less midrange and a really unreliable switch! I used this as a bassist for years though and loved that sound, but the switch gave out... my black Russian never sounded as full for bass.

If it's a fuzz ... but well this pedal was so unique... I gave it and now I've the ehx reissue
