Customer Reviews
Finally!!
I've been playing bass for a few years now, and the majority of
that time was spent trying to find a bass fuzz/distortion that worked
best for me. I've tried everything, Woolly Mammoth, Boss ODB3, Turbo
Rat, Blowtorch, I even bought a Line 6 Pod XT Live to try and model the
perfect distortion. None of them would cut it. THIS pedal is the
ultimate. It's got great bottom end, and plenty of fuzz. My personal
favorite setting is with the toggle on Dry, and the tone and sustain
knobs all the way up! This allows the majority of your signal to pass
through undisturbed while giving you great fuzz on the top. It's the
closest thing you will ever find to bi-amping one clean and one dirty
signal. Fans of Muse, The Faint, The Mars Volta..... Buy this Pedal
The Muff Redesigned. Amazing
I bought the bass big muff after figuring out Cliff Burton of
Metallica used the Russian Big Muff. I tried that and it was amazing,
so I figured they couldn't make it worse, only better. I was correct. I
really like the distortion sound, and this pedal will not break. My
complaint is that I use a musicman stingray which has one fat double
pick up, making the sound really big and bassy. I love that, but it
isn't beneficial to this pedal. I turn the EQ on my fender amp all the
way up except for the treble i turn to twelve o clock, then on my bass
I turn up the treble and midtone and turn the bass down to three o
clock, effectively thinning out the sound yet keeping the horrible
treble distortion sound away. It creates the perfect bass distortion. I
plan on uploading a video of it on youtube under
youtube.com/themanonthebass. Check it out. I recommend this pedal
because it is awesome, and also because the sound of bass distortion is
different than guitar distortion, and that's what makes this pedal
unique.
the answer
this product is the answer bass guitarists have been looking for...
Big Muff distortion with the option to run a mix of "dry" and "wet"
signal. With the 3-way switch on "dry" you can get the Big Muff
distortion that a lot of bass players have been using the Big Muff Pi
for, but now you can get a clean signal in the mix to keep that deep
backing tone behind your fuzz. The only thing that could have made this
better would have been another knob to mix the "wet/dry" ratio but the
fixed ratio built into the pedal is pretty good. I run this pedal
behind my ODB-3 for a killer mix or one-at-a-time for added versatility
in my distorted sounds.
