Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth uses the JAM Pedals Red Muck fuzz pedal, as noted by JAM Pedals on their website.
“Jam pedals inspire.. they show you new avenues to explore. I love pedals that have a strong personality – that somehow take the pressure off me and cause the guitar to become the boss.the results are usually far more interesting than relying on my own will. Red muck has the “it’s gonna get crazy If I push that” button. I love that it feels dangerous to step on a button that will wreak havoc and take the control from me and into the hands of a small metal box full of wires. I don’t always like to be in control.. jam pedals satisfy the need to relinquish control – to just jump out of the norm without a parachute.”
Dweezil points out his Red MucK at 11:30 of this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar saying that this is "just a really nice sounding distortion that’s kind of - I guess it’s supposed to be like a big muff but it’s his own thing."
He demos this effect in this video. It is shown multiple times throughout the video.
According to Premier Guitar's rig rundown, Roth uses Jam Red Muck pedal.
David Hidalgo expresses his appreciation for JAM Pedals, including the Red Muck fuzz pedal, highlighting its importance in his musical setup. This sentiment is featured on the JAM Pedals artist page.
“I love JAM pedals and they remain among my favorites -ever.”
In this short video from a Banda Magda recording session in January, 2020, you can see a Red Muck on Chris' pedalboard. Note that Chris' pedalboard is NOT the first one shown in the video or the thumbnail.

In this pic you can spot the Jam pedal
Used both live and in studio, Sid owned this pedal and it sees most use during the Cruel Knives as Sid moved to a more fuzz based tone. The pedal is based on the 71 “triangle” and the later “Red Army / Civil War” Muffs, so it is more of a fuzzy distortion, perfect for Sid's riff based playing style and tone layering. The pedal was seen during recordings, home and stage use. Sid changed the Gain knob.
