One thing I really like about my original v6 is the Tone-Bypass switch, which, you guessed it bypasses the tone stack.
It's an aggressive beast with or without it, and very versatile for a Muff, as a result.

With the tone stack it combines the clarity and openness of the early American versions with the sustain and bottom end of the early Russians.
Tone-bypassed, things get louder and open up even more. There's already ridiculous gain on tap, with the tone stack...without it things can get downright crazy.

Musket if you want a less wild sounding Muff with flexibility
Pharoah if you play loud and love to stack (I've found I onlyl liked how it sounded loud, but again just me)
Super Collider if you want to destroy everyone (3 clipping options, pregain, mids knob, a lot heavier than the Musket)
Big Green Pi because it rules and there are switches on the inside for different sounds as well (never actually played one but it is based off of my original Tall Font Sovtek muff)
Tall Font from Wren and Cuff if you want a straight up Tall Font clone that sounds closer to the real thing than I've ever heard. Also very small.
Rams Head variant if you want to use it for leads (Possibly the MASF Lavender Head, I've heard it is awesome and the tweaked Tone Stack is great too)
Eau Claire Thunder if you like to get noisey. Stuff stacks into it fairly well. The tone bypass and oscillation footswitch give it a whole lot of options
Hoof if you want some vintage tone but the ability to bump mids. The germanium gives it a vintage vibe but the LED's give it plenty of volume and balls. Stuff also stacks well into it
LSTR if you want something a little angrier than the Pharaoh but with a few less options and more gain
Black Russian Sovtek is pretty good for stacking. They are a pain to mod though.
Green Russian Bubble font have more bass, a little less clarity.
Tall Font Green Russians have crunch and gain out the ass and when you stack into them it just turns into this massive wall of awesome.

I think those are all the muffs that I've tried....


Skully knows his muff :lol:
Since you already have a Rev Superbass...Pharaoh might not be the first thing out of my mouth (gasp, I know) and I might say go with something brighter. It would definitely work, but if you're trying to cut through a mix something like a Blunderbuss or Hoof would probably treat you really well.
Special low-frequency version.
