its just the 850 overdrive from the 70s, which is pretty much a big muff. cool of them to reissue it at a low price

I used to have an original 850 OD, its a big muff in fuzz or OD clothing but with a little different voicing.. didn't know they brought this one back

It sounds really good. To be honest? Maybe there would be purists that say that it would never sound like a vintage big muff, but for the size and price?, it really gets close. Like I said, gives me more than I need.

no two big muffs made before like 2000 sound exactly the same at the same control settings anyway... but they're all close enough that all the hype over which version is the best version is over nothing. Trust me. I've had a million of 'em pass through my hands.

also, the big muff isn't a fuzz at all the way its designed. Its a really extreme distortion... almost imagine like 2 DS1s stacked up but with just 1 tone control and that's what a big muff is. If you have a discrete transistor version and you pull a [air of back to back clipping diodes it becomes more of a fuzz, specifically a jumbo tonebender, which has some diode clipping at the end right before the clean recovery stage but also some true fuzz where the first few transistors are cascading into overload fuzz face style.

I play mostly hard rock, or metal, whatever you wanna call it, and what I mostly use is the distortion of the amp, pushed by a tube screamer mini and a TC Electronic spark. The idea of the fuzz really came just to cover a few songs, but never found a use for a fuzz. But fooling around with this pedal, I have found a cool setting to stack the fuzz with just a hair of drive from the amp, and it sounds really cool for some occasions. It's fun.
