Settings? The gate is the only thing stopping my SST from being my favorite fuzz ever.

Yeah. I found even when I toyed with it a lot I could make the gate less noticeable, but I use wailing feedback in a ton of my bands songs, and could never properly achieve it with the SST.
It was just really hard to control it.

the Blunderbuss is sexier and that's all I'm able to contribute here.

For what it's worth, I've AB'd my WAY HUGE SWOLLEN PICKLE with the Hoof, Blunderbuss, Musket, Box of War, Tall Font Russian, and every other muff style fuzz my store carries and nothing does "big" and "HUGE" better. It even makes my BASS BASSIER.

Gain and pre all the way, focus around 9, tone and mids around 11 and volume about 1:30. Use the boost, tone circuit and sometimes engage fuzz 1 circuit and then, welp...

While we're comparing Muff-like pedals, I think I used to read this all the time when the Pharaoh was the new hotness, but is the Pharaoh a lot heavier than other Muff pedals? Or at least, compared to the Hoof?

I didn't really find it to be the heaviest muff-style pedal. I'd say the Blunderbuss, Eau Claire Thunder and Cbread Manx were all 'heavier' with my set up

I'm gonna go off your opinion, since I know you've reviewed a ton of this stuff.. Makes the Blunderbuss that much more appealing compared to the others.

Of course, the Eau Claire Thunder I wasn't even thinking about, and that's good ol' Wisconsin-ness there that I should probably have on my board.

ive been wanting to chime but didnt want to be the one to start throwing out random muffs
since you were specific about the two,but if yer open to other options
i have the bat badascan and its like the train you described
after it hit a cow, in a blizzard, jumped the tracks and slammed into gods nutsack
im sure the pharoah (ritual maybe) will cure what ails you,mathias
be strong, you will be victorious

id go thunder before blunderbuss(thats my$0.02)

Pharaoh with 3 way diode switch might work, fer sure...

Baby Thundaa maybe?

I found the Pharaoh to be really low gain. But maybe I'm crazy.

Try a regular Musket maybe? I dunno. I'm all superfuzz these days and I've effectively forgotten all muff advice I've once had.

Did you fiddle with the switchies? There is one labeled lo/hi-gain.

Yeah, hi-gain was like...not that high gain.

weird. On germanium it's not super gainy, but the no diode and silicon modes are super fuckzzed to high hell.
