Also,you could pick up a used Big Muff for $40 or so.
That would give you a good base from which to spring forth into Muffdom.

I say by a used NYC reissue and mod the shit out of it.

I don't have any muff type at the moment... but the DMB Pedals Foxy π-rate Fuzz look interesting (not sure if it's really a muff but it sound like it to me).

I dig the classic sounds of the EQD Hoof, but also like the slightly crunchier sound of the IC Muffs.

Both available in the B/S/T!

I like the grit of the IC Muffs. I haven't actually played one yet but I have a DIY kit of one coming in tommorow.

Have you checked out the Devi Ever Hyperion?

[Snowblind]

Check out a Dwarfcraft Baby Thundaa, and most of devi ever stuff is muff based as well.

i'm not that into the Muff sound; if i was looking for a Muff i'd definitely look at the Hyperion.

If you're looking for something cheap, pick up a used EHX Muff w/ Tone Wicker. Much more usable sounds than the stock Muff. The BYOC Large Beaver is pretty bitchin', too. And cheap, if you find someone selling an assembled one.

i saw the tone wicker. they go mad cheap. but i've heard mixed things about it. i looked into the metal muff too, mainly because it has a top boost channel

Integrated circuits FTW!!! I'm all about the IC/OpAmp Muffs. It may not get as doomy as a green Russian would, but I think it's the 2nd best for that. I did enjoy having a Musket, and then a Twosome, but there was just something missing for me. I built a ICBM after that, and realized that that was the sound I was after.

Beware the Metal Muff, it really isn't a muff at all. It sounds more like a Boss Metal Zone.

I have a Musket now (which I think is based on the Russian), and I have an IC Muff clone on my way to me now. The Musket really is a fantastic muff, but it is a bit pricier than the current EHX Muffs.

Stay away from the metal muffs, they all suck balls! The top boost is a nightmare for your ears!
Get the cheapest reissue nyc muff you can find and give it a try, also get a boost pedal.

My two cents:
- Blackout Effectors Musket v. 2 "Blunderbuss" (to my ears it sounds like a cross between a BM and a RAT)
- Earthquaker Devices Hoof (inspired by the Green Russian Muff)
- Stomp Under Foot Violet Ram's Head
