No brainer

I tested it up against my EHX Big Muff, and figured I no longer need a box that's 4 times the size which does exactly the same as this one. Amazing value for the buck and space!

stravoxid

I am very surprised

This little box has balls. Tone knob has a very wide range.

Great for the price

A rather affordable copy of a triangle Big Muff. Sounds great with the volume and tone maxed out but lacks in variation.
