Guys, Sorry if i missed that, but what are your thoughts on the current Production Big Box Big Muff?

I'm thinking about adding this to my pending Order cause it is damn cheap...

Get the one with tone wicker. It's the same circuit (obviously with added wicker), smaller enclosure, and only a little bit more.

i don't know, man... these are just huge, have a minijack for power supply and get lost in the mix like hotcakes.... wait...
just saying - i'd use one in a studio for a solo, because they have an awesome unique character above 12th fret with neck pickup... otherwise it's a big no-no for me, because they have just about -1050 mids

It's kind of a one trick pony. Super saturated and scooped. A rat comes handy to avoid getting lost in the mix. Also takes fuzz faces and superfuzzes.

I picked one up for 40 bucks new and have recorded with it for a wooly, warm, scoooooooooped fuzz sound that sounds muffy and saturated (not nearly as good as the greenie of course). Live is a big no-no!! Say goodbye to being heard! I think it is a nice thing to have around just in case all of your other fuzz pedals mysteriously melt into your floor.

A few dollars more will get you a used Black Russian.

If you are getting a discount off the already low price, I say hit it.
The newest one I have is from 2007-2008 and if nothing has changed
since then then, I think it's definitely worth trying.

Hey I had a tone wicker like 2 years ago. I mostly used it with the switches off. It was fun but most positions of the sustain knob sounded the same and the tone wasn't useful out of the 10 - 2 range. But it sounded like a beast going into a ds-1. It made this mega fuzzy, mega compressed mess

The big box NYC muff was my very first pedal, and I loved the shit out of it. Nowadays, I find that there are other muff variants I prefer to it, but it's still not a bad pedal. For as cheap as they are, you could do a whole hell of a lot worse.

You can also remove two diodes and make it a supa tone bender.

If nothing else it makes for a classy paperweight.
