something really heavy and saturated... from 'siamese dream' and even more...
so ladies and germaniums of the I LOVE FUZZ board, your top picks/suggestions?
and spam from builders is totally welcome, heh.
also, can anyone give me other song examples beside pumpkins' stuff that have a good opamp muff tone?
best wishes and siamese dreams-

Nix on the Pumpkin Butter.
My track record is not good on this one, probably not what you're looking for, but I wanna try one of these:

In addition to being a clone of the original Harmonic Energizer, it also features a switchable fuzz circuit, closely modelled on the 70s IC Muff Fuzz, and an expression pedal input.

NOICE! thanks!
the siamese scream looks/sounds killer. the pumpkin butter sounds great, but at a lower gain.
anyone out there have any experience with the stomp under foot pumpkin pi?
http://www.stompunderfoot.com/PUMPKIN_PI.htmlsounds like a ton of gain on that box!

I rock a MadeByMike op-amp muff, and I love it so much, I consider myself done with buying muffs forever. It is everything I ever wanted (and wished) a muff to be.

MadeByMike stuff is always good. Take a look at the Pumpkin Butter for some ILF love and see if it tickles your fancy?

I'm not a Muff Fuzz fan (not my style), but I would suggest you to look at some of Devi Ever's creation.

AFAIK none of Devi's pedals is based on a Muff circuit, but the Hyperion was supposed to come close in sound. Others can certainly do the mids-scooped super-compressed fuzz sound to various degrees.
I've had quite a few Devi fuzzes, and while they do sound huge through a nice big amp, they were kind of lacking for range of sounds (one pedal made one sound, it seemed) and for dynamics.. almost all of them completely destroyed dynamics in playing because it was so compressed.

my bad... I don't know muff that much.
As much I like fuzz... I'm not into muff.

Get in touch with Schlatte. His Iron Curtain goes from muff to baseball bat rapist.
