Big Muff question/problem!

[spiffy chap]

I have 2 muff clones by Skreddypedals. The Mayo is set up for only flat mids, and sounds awesome. The Zero has a switch to go between "classic" muff w/ scoop and flat mids. Mine was the first Zero with a mid-switch!

Your zero might be the first and only one with the switch...haven't seen any others.

I strongy suggest you check out the newest builder to join ILF...blackout effectors. In particular the musket. A beefed up muff with all the controls it should have (including a mid control knob).

I have a Zero with a mids switch.

Yeah, Marc started offering it as an option after he built mine. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get on the list for a zero request this option! The zero is a totally sick pedal. I almost wish I had the switch option on my mayo, but I got mine before switches were "in."

4-knob hoof has a mids knob.
I also have a Creepy Fingers triangle clone with separate bass and treble controls so you can set the scoop (or not) to your liking.

Skreddypedal, both Zero and Mayo are discontinued?!!!!
GGGRrrrrrr.

[ohsojayadeva]

He's still making them, just not regularly enough to have them listed on the website. Send him an email, he'll get you on the list.

a couple of important questions before i really spend money on another pedal.

does a hot pickup make a the Big Muff compress too much when engaged? even if i have the sustain down?
it's not like farting hot sound but it's super compressed with all noise kicking in while a single note sustain.
it's not as bad with a tele or strat but it gets really bad with the humbuckers on my Gibson Nighthawk.

i also suspect that i might have blown something up in the Muff Pi, coz i did send a line signal to the big muff and re-amp it to the amp for my recording. does this kill? tell me not...


for the pedals that i checked out.

mayo sounds pretty nice.
zero does sound a bit like the Subdecay F.Bomb that i have.
the solo fuzz tone on both pedals do carry quite a bit of character in a good way.

... but man, i don't do solo at all, i make noise as my guitar solo....

i am making my mind up now, Dwarfraft's ECT is still my 1st choice...
umm....wait ... it means i may have to sell a guitar by the end of next month to clear some bills...

ECT is a good choice if you really want to make some noize!
