Excessive?

The Musket's got enough tweakability that it's totally worth having two and setting them completely differently.
Is it just me or does everyone think Muff variants stack into each other really well?

I have a Grey Stache and a supercollider that I don't stack.

Of course, I have the 'stache set to emulate the SC, so that's probably not the issue.

Not excessive at all but I like the Pharaoh at the end with the gain set low.

^All big muffs/muff based. I'd say yeah, but I don't like muffs that much. If you use them all without having to TRY to use them all, awesome!

i dunno. personally i probably wouldn't have two of the same exact box, but that's more due to cost and space considerations than anything else. i see the utility, but unless i need both settings in one song $150 or so is an awful lot of money not to have to reset the knobs. i can see the charm of having multiple similar boxes based on the same/similar circuit(s); i would like to have two Tone Benders so i could use one for the Mick Ronson overdrivey thing and the saxophonish overtones a half-up Bender does so well and one for the full-on bzzzzzzzz. not being a fan of the Muff circuits, i don't know enough to say if the Musket, SC, and Pharoah are based on different Muff versions, which would also make them less redundant.

Musket's a Civil War clone (get it? Haaa! Muskets! Civil War!) while the SC is a tweaked NYC Muff.

I thought the musket was a green?

I thought the same thing as you, but D.O.S.' explanation is too awesome to not believe :lol:

I think they're both tweaked enough that they're too far removed from the originals to care what they're based on. And Russian and Civil War are close enough, anyway.
Having two Muskets is definitely a bit of an indulgence but there are so many knobs and I hate to try to refind settings I like.

You need to get a little notebook to write down all your settings in.

The real question is, is it excessive ENOUGH?!?

Personally, I'm all for it - I love running my Gnomeratron Mini into my Gnomeratron VTF, which could be said to be a similar approach. If I had a Baby Thundaa, the first thing I'd try would be running it into my Eau Claire Thunder. And I've often thought about picking up a second Sea Machine, so I could chorus my chorus.

Oh, and, yeah, NOT excessive.

I have a Pharaoh, a Blunderbuss, a Bluebeard Fuzz and two Jordan Creators. (I think that's all of my muff-y stuff. IDK. Can't remember.) I don't usually run more than one of 'em at a time, but the Bluebeard into the Pharaoh sounds like massively huge earth-shaking doom-y sex.
