I'm not much of a big muff guy anymore, so if I do decide to get one just for the sake of having at least one muff in my arsenal, it'd have to be cheap and versatile :)
The EHX Deluxe seems to have all the right parameters to get you there, if it only had presets :lol:
...and weren't the size of a modest coffee table. And came with graphics that didn't look so...ehx :idk:
Srs, their graphics guy has got to be a teenager. With color blindness. And a cheesy gaudy taste for pedal aesthetics.

It's not that big, and you can always pay someone to customize it for you for more ILF points ;) Option is there and pedal is about $100 I believe, so you can have that for $300 total :lol:

Yeah I guess it's a great bang for the buck. And I was half-kidding with the comments on the graphic, if you saw my pedal board you'd know I don't give a shit about ilf cred or the way a pedal looks :)

The size is actually one of my least concerns too, since it won't ever make it to my board, the fact that it drowns in a messy mix will make me only want to use at home now and then.

Still though, it'll take more for me to really consider another muff again :idk:

Well, I grabbed an Opamp Big Muff and was very surprised. I like it a lot. Great "grumble" to the distortion and a very reactive to tone. I like Corgin's wall of sound idea so I did the following: Hooked my guitar to an EHX switchblade with one out going to an opamp big muff (with high treble and lower volume) and the other out going to a Russian Muff clone (with medium/low treble and higher volume), and the outs of both pedal went to an amp with two inputs. The results were fantastic! The sharp distortion of the opamp was "surrounded" by the bassy sludginess of the Russian. If an amp doesn't have two inputs one could use another switchblade with the outs of the pedals going into the "outs" of the switchblade and the "in" going to the amp.

Another option would be using two of these:

Or you could get one of these... http://www.idiotboxeffects.com/product/blackout (dual parallel muffs in a single box)...
