Already posted this on HCFX, but figured some of you fux would dig it:
 

king_buzzo 10.24.2006 03:35 AM

holy fucking shit. he got them all in the 80s back when they were cheap! they went for 29$

static-harmony 10.24.2006 03:38 AM

I would like one of those.

CHOUT 10.24.2006 03:38 AM

And now you can get these vintage ones for at least $300 each...

king_buzzo 10.24.2006 03:39 AM

you can get a vintage sovtek one for 70 on ebay, i found one but i didnt get it

static-harmony 10.24.2006 03:39 AM

I have no money, for something that expensive, I may as well buy a guitar.

Danny Himself 10.24.2006 06:18 AM

I've never used a big muff. Or any type of distortion pedal.

I feel like some sort of sonic virgin looking at guitar porn.

king_buzzo 10.24.2006 10:42 AM

ha. pedals rule, especially muffs

whorefrost 10.24.2006 10:45 AM

this is what my muff looks like:

 

king_buzzo 10.24.2006 11:37 AM

Pax Americana 10.25.2006 01:01 AM

whorefrost 10.25.2006 05:49 AM

king_buzzo 10.25.2006 06:15 AM

hendrix?

whorefrost 10.25.2006 01:30 PM

king_buzzo 10.25.2006 01:34 PM

whorefrost 10.25.2006 01:52 PM

my friend has a blue box, it's pretty awesome as well...

king_buzzo 10.25.2006 02:33 PM

its quiet

Danny Himself 10.26.2006 03:42 PM

Mod it.

CHOUT 10.27.2006 12:42 AM

what Danny (Raab) Himself said...it's easy and it sounds better.

Richard Pryor on Fire 10.27.2006 12:52 AM

Do you think it would sound wild to have all those pedals looped together, or after a while would just be a wall of fuzz so strong it would blow yr shit up.

hey alex 10.27.2006 01:15 AM

probably both

CHOUT 11.02.2006 04:31 AM

Ahh, shit. Saw this muff begging me to press the button so I did:
 

next step 11.02.2006 10:43 AM

good shot chout!

king_buzzo 11.02.2006 11:36 AM

bought it? i swear if you get another one ill kill you.

CHOUT 11.02.2006 11:59 AM

Let's say I got it for a price where I could make a little profit if I choose to resell it.

king_buzzo 11.02.2006 12:00 PM

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


edit: how does it sound? i think those are common on ebay for a resonable price, how much was it?

CHOUT 11.02.2006 12:26 PM

I just bought it for $115 (usually go for $150 and up). These have a built in compressor, so a little more versatile than a regular one.

king_buzzo 11.02.2006 12:35 PM

thats a pretty good deal. i

soapbars 11.02.2006 01:03 PM

recently ive been thinking about getting a double muff,

does anybody have one?

thanks like,

jon boy 11.02.2006 01:07 PM

These aren't the usual big muff sound - they're two muff (precursor to the big muff) overdrives. Not as high gain, but can still get pretty thick with both on. They just reissued the muff overdrive, but this is a better deal, since you are getting the two muffs in one.

jon boy 11.02.2006 01:14 PM

so he does then.

king_buzzo 11.02.2006 01:14 PM

muff overdrive?

CHOUT 11.02.2006 01:16 PM

 

jon boy 11.02.2006 01:18 PM

i like the fact that it only has one knob.

I tried one, it was alright. I'd get a Double Muff before that.
