Edit description

The MadeByMike ‘78 IC Muff is a meticulously crafted fuzz pedal that pays homage to the iconic fuzz tones of the late 1970s, while incorporating modern enhancements for today's discerning players. This pedal captures the essence of the classic Big Muff design, known for its rich, creamy sustain and distinctive character.
