What is everyone's favorite Big Muff or Big Muff inspired creation?

Why do you like that particular pedal so much?

Cheers.

These are on my board. Of the three, I think I like the Rams Head best. The Munchkin is a bit more "unhinged". The RH is a bit more under control and I like that (as a chord player). I had a SUF Civil War and A/B'd it against the Tym CW. The Tym one is a clone of the Civil War owned by Raul from Magic Dirt. To my ears, it's got a bit less "balls" than the SUF but it's also a bit clearer (without losing that CW bottom end) and I think it'd stand out more in a live mix. As much as a Muff can, that is. :) I had a SUF VRH also but found that I preferred the Tym one. Not that there was anything wrong with the SUF pedals. They are great. I just liked these more. And I love the design of the graphics.

The Pete Cornish P2 made a fuzz lover of me.

As far as muffs go I like the BYOC Triangle, but I got the Stomp Under Foot Pumpkin Pi early this year and love it! It is based on the late 70's Muffs and does sound a bit like Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream album. What I like is it works great with a clean amp or a dirty one which most Muffs can't handle.

I ask because I recently bit on a Drive Gate (by Top Tone in Brazil) and traded for a Pink Flesh. Very different designs, I know, but they are pretty nifty in terms of the ground they cover. I can get REAL fat with the PF, while the DG is stellar for warm, smooth, singing leads.

Has anyone experienced these? If so, what thoughts can you offer?

+1 for the SUF Pumpkin Pi. That pedal is a LOT of fun. I'm also borrowing a friend's SUF Civil War muff, which sounds great, and I was really impressed when I tried out the SUF Green Russian Muff too.


I used to own a Sitori Sonics Harem Fuzz, which I absolutely LOVED, but the dumb thing was so noisy even when it was turned off that I couldn't keep it in my signal chain.

My Pumpkin Pi has serial number 28, so we must be in a pretty select club! :sign_rockon

I'd love to try some of the other SUF pedals, but I have so much fuzz and I really don't use it much. Muffs: BYOC Triangle, Pumpkin Pi. Tonebender: Lumpy's Tone Shop MKIII (custom made) and BA Scarab Deluxe. Fuzz Face: Analogman high gain NKT275 Sunface, Fulltone '70 BC108cb (small box). Treble Boosters: Swart Atomic Boost, Plum Crazy Squawk.
