Perfect Fuzz
Perfect Fuzz every time. Pairs perfectly with a nice overdrive to push it further putting it more in front of other sounds.
I would just recommend you try it out in person before you buy it.
I got this used for around $70. Previously, I mentioned that I had some issues. But I tried it again after messing with the EQs on the amp and the pedal, and it sounds great with my Tele. Strangely, I don't like it as much on the LP.
its because a big muff has no midrange and very little attack, it gets swallowed up by drums and bass. Those sounds you want are in there, but you need to have the right guitar and amp and play hella loud.
Devastating but tricky
Devastating pedal, wide range of sounds, but a little bit tricky to use and to set: you have to spend quie a loto of time setting this pedal!
Mid Scooped
The nano pi makes a huge sound, but I find that I can't actually use it for anything. It's a wall of bass and treble with no mids.
It sounds great solo jamming, but whenever I try to use it in a song it just sounds horrible. It wants to eat the whole sonic landscape - except for the mids - which is where a guitar is supposed to live.
A fun toy, but not an actually useful fuzz for my needs.
HAHAH! the big muff curse... tis not even a fuzz, 90% of the distortion is produced by clipping stages utilizing the susual back to back diodes to ground, dude... its a very gainy distortion with discrete transistors instead of a dual opamp like most other diode-clippers...the big muff is the most useless and over-myhtologized effect ever. I have owned tons of different ones over the last 15 years and I just give up. Swap it for a rat if you want a distortion that can do fuzz.
Just like the classic, only smaller.
This has all the tone of it's big brother, only in a much more pedalboard friendly size. This fuzz will not be leaving my board anytime soon. It has such a classic and intense sound, especially when used with other pedals. It is a staple in my set up.
little monster !
I love everything on this pedal. Its good for solos, good for powerchords, and to riffs. It sounds great.
Does exactly what it is meant to do.
I really wanted to love this pedal and I anticipated to use it all the time. It works 100% as I expected and sounds perfect. However, I rarely ever use it. The sound can be very overwhelming. No wonder Billy Corgan changed his sound over time.
THE Fuzz Pedal
This is the standard fuzz pedal. Has a great tone range, plenty of volume and a fuzz that can be as wild or tame as needed. If you like fuzz, you need a Big Muff. Great size compared to the original when it comes to pedal boards also.
One hell of a pedal
Don't let the size of this pedal fool you, it captures some great fuzzy-distorted Big Muff tones in a pocket-sized package. I highly recommend this pedal for any fuzz-fiends out there.
