I have decided that I would like a Big Muff on my board. I don't want to get too spendy so things like the EQD and JHS are out.
If I keep it to just the EHX offerings, how on earth do you choose which one?
Based on listening to various YouTube clips (some of which are pretty decent quality)
I really like the Green Russian reissue. But is it too bassy in reality? I could easily EQ the low end if needed.
The op amp Muff is the sound of the Smashing Pumpkins, but is it too harsh / a one trick pony?
The triangle Muff sounds cool, but it is a little spiky and that could get old quite quickly.
The 'standard' Muff is a bit, er, 'muffled' and would probably just get lost in the mix.
The Deluxe Muff is too big for my board.
The Bass Muff sounds like it is meant for bass, not guitar.
The Tone Wicker Muff is, wait, what is a Tone Wicker again?
Aaaargghh! Help!

That will dictate any suggestion really.

From what I can gather from the numerous online videos, the Green Russian sounds too dark for me, so I think I made the right choice, despite having been pretty baffled by all the options before I bought the Op-Amp one.

Interestingly, the same approach applies in the Helix!
At the minute my fuzz of choice is a Fuzz War clone but the tone stack is odd and doesn't work that well with my Marshall. It was better with my Laney.
Reverb just gave me a 15% off offer on a Green Russian reissue. Couldn't resist....
I have the option to add boosts before it ( ep boost, soul food) or after it (screamer or clean boost models in the Amplifire), as well as eq (peq, lowpass, highpass, geq) so there's a ton of possibilities....
Great quality and has optional mid controls to improve cutting through the mix.
think it was about £85

Try a Klone into the front.
