Analog fuzz based Sovtek Big Muff (Green Russian older versions in the 90s).
fuzz is a hybrid germanium / silicon.

nb: it is the recent version with four buttons and not the former, which contained only 3 buttons

UTILIZATION

The pedal has 4 knobs (volume, gain, tone and a shift).
It is fairly easy to carve sounds tailor the shift knob is a valuable addition to that tone to control the colors of the pedal.

SOUND QUALITY

It is a very versatile fuzz, with a nice headroom and clarity.
Basically a great big muff with quite serious, nice mids and a good bite that can "get out" of the mix.
His favorite is the big sound, but it can also be quieter sounds (especially if you lower the volume on the guitar, we have a clean that dirty just right).
Very effective with humbuckers on big riffs, it is also good with single coils on small leads and small plans crunch.
Thanks to the tone and shift knobs you can go a very serious fuzz (almost lo-fi) at a very acute fuzz with a lot of grain and sharpness.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had little time, but I'm very satisfied, I am a big fan of pedals "big muff", and it is a good complement to those I have already, it is clearly part of Best fuzz.
Certainly one of the most versatile family of muffs, it is a very good deal.
