EHX V4 Opamp Big Muff ('78) for the rhythm tones.
Opamp Muff + MXR Dist II for lead tones.
Occasional use of MXR Phase 100, Fender Blender and/or EHX micro synth for leads.

You are correct. The Distortion II was his "solo boost".

Positive of that. But I have a distinct memory (90% sure) that he wanted it to do bass parts. Not hardcore enough to be sure but I thought he always did all the bass parts on the albums.

are their any particularly sexy clones of the op amp muff out there? like with extra tonal shaping options, etc.

I'm on the waitlist (10-12 weeks) for a SUF Pumpkin Pi.

It continues...

Picked up a used Bass Big Muff for $35!! I couldn't pass it up.
I also have a Black Russian small-box sitting on my front porch right now....can't wait to get home to check it out.
I know the Bass Muff and Russian are supposed to be very similar, so I may not end up keeping both unless I just want to have a massive Big Muff collection.


So far I have:
EHX Little Big Muff
EHX Black Russian
EHX Bass BIg Muff
OLC Whisker Biscuit
Barber Trifecta
...and on the waitlist for the SUF Pumpkin Pi to satisfy my opamp-muff Siamese Dream jones.

Oh, I almost forgot...my buddy is sending me his Psionic Audio 3.14 to checkout.

Might be time to do a shootout with some audio clips.

I think the Caroline Guitars Wave Cannon is an IC-based circuit.

The Black Russian Muff is very cool. Darker and seemingly a touch less gain than the LBM. The tone control has less useful range, but there's a weird (good) mid-boost that appears to pop up at the last little bit of the CCW pot travel that I like.

It will be interesting to see how it compares to the Bass BM which I believe should be arriving today. I'm hoping the BBM sounds basically the same as the Russian, because it is a huge beast that is taking up mucho space on my board. Plus I can't seem to find the battery-snap cable for my Pedal Power 2+. If I end up keeping the Russian I'll have to drill it for a 9Vdc adapter jack.

I just ordered a muff clone from Mom-D (shark tank) It seems to have tons of tonal options.... I will let you know how it sounds when it arrives. Checkout the shark tank description... pretty impressive... maybe it is an option that you should consider...just sayin'

I am loving my Silver Rose. Does not seem to get a lot of good press around here but has loads of sweet tones.
IC muff, superfuzz and everything in between!

I think there is a black one being traded on the sale pages for $325.

Saw it but thanks, which reminds me as to why no one likes the thing: the price
