What was that, the Fuzz Munchkin?

Only #300 made, $285 apiece , totally sold out last I heard.

Some funfax about J Mascis' real Big Muff:

The guy who runs the Big Muff page says it's basically got the same circuit as the V6 muffs.

Nathan's Pedals


Nick's Pedals (sorry this pic is so terrible)

Noice. How was the show?

It was pretty sick! Very very hot show though god damn. I was actually impressed with TTNG. They have new members and they were really killing it. I've seen Tera Melos play so many fantastic shows over like 5 years that it's hard for me to be impacted as hard as I have been by past shows. Not that they've gotten worse or I dislike their new album (both of those being false) I've just absorbed so much of it that I've gotten perhaps over exposed to their magic

Wow, Nick finally got a pedaltrain
And I swear every time I see a new picture of his DL4 its painted differently

They really love that EBS stuff.

Yeah kinda boring but that's kinda good cause it shows that even with a band that sounds so huge and spacey it doesn't take a ton of the newest most expensive stuff...

The EBS octabass is a neat little gadget. Valve drive pedals are snake oil more often than not but if it works, it works.

That bird guitar is fucking sexy.

He hasn't had time to make any in a while but I think there's still like 140 or something to be made. The collector nerd frenzy over them is insane.

Apparently it's a V7 with like one part in backwards or something wacky like that. I really do like mine though.

Ah, here's the quote I was thinking of:
"KR - I asked Tim about this and he explained nothing was really wired or put together wrong, it just had really odd components values, very different from anything he had seen in a vintage Big Muff before. He mentioned to J that maybe EHX had made a mistake with the value of the components they used. However, the circuit in J's Big Muff is actually rather common, using the exact same component values as the standard V6 Big Muff from 1978-1984. EHX had become somewhat consistent with component value selection by this time, and seemed to be staying with a certain sound for the Muff. The same values were also used in a late model version 2 circuit variant, and the rare "tone bypass" version 3, made circa 1976. "

Jeeeeesus. You could buy 25 copies of YLAOM and give them away to friends and family for that kind of bling, and still have enough left over to package them with earplugs.
