Analog pedal, 3 knobs, 1 switch rocker + 1, external power supply jack and 9 volt battery compartment inside (accessible only after unscrewing four screws tedious tiny wire. But building issue, a tank!
8/10

UTILIZATION

15/08/2012:
The config? There was no mention of config in 1978, he was experimenting with her fingers and both ears. Meanwhile, at the time, I was pretty thoroughly the style everywhere, so the configs ...
on the other hand, who was looking for nuances, it was possible, all easily accessible between zero and completely blind. I remember in particular that made the colorations tone offered by the real palette extremely nuanced.
9/10

SOUND QUALITY

15/08/2012:
(S) sound (s)? So, you know? The ultimate in fuzz, because creamy and smooth like a pie in the sun but without the smelly side thug. Especially, a fuzz which restored perfectly, in his delusions fuzzesques, the corrections we applied to the tone knobs on the guitar (and yet, at the time, I did not already guitar great luxury).
A fuzz so generous and well made that it magnified the two small shovels quite ordinary to asses which I plugged in. A true gift, what, for USD 280 to 1978, she gave my guitars the other models have much more ambitious.
The tone of the Big Muff made all the difference: it is through him that we will be launching in the very aggressive brutal, either way sounds fuzzy "look of velvet." Sustain, do I really talk about it? ... of madness just madness on my imitation of LP not bad but not exceptional.
It's not every day, but there is the 10/10 deserved far more than the Big Muff resucées I've heard since, that sounds to me like a betrayal to the sounds of my youth .

OVERALL OPINION

15/08/2012:
It is in my hardware "old", and for good reason: it is one of my "missteps" the most caricatured, since I lost it all alone like an idiot in a move that I made myself in 1989. One last card left in the alcove of the truck I had rented, not want to cough up USD 10 per half hour for exceeding the rent (connard! this is how you lost 280 USD of absolute enjoyment), and this is how we offload a fabulous tool.
I've never recovered from that mistake, I would have preferred me to fly. But now I'm just in front of my perpetual accusation immeasurable stupidity. I researched the grail that could allow me to touch the ear of this absolute myth, and only lately, in an Angry Fuzz from Visual Sound has managed to soothe that disappointment somewhat.
This was my second distortion / fuzz, my parents had provided for my 15 years. A tremendous gift, those who put a happy smile on the face of any bushel that caresses the desire to approach the sound of his idols. With her for hours and hours, weekends full, I played seven or eight songs from the album "On your feet or on your knees" by Blue Oyster Cult, and I was there on the stage of my room to give the reply to Buck Dharma, emulating his sound to make it better than him ...
If the rating of these pedals that was not absolutely crazy on occasion (which y'en s'touchent, anyway!), And if I was absolutely sure of finding THIS pedal with this circuit and not an effect other (Big Muff variants have been very short time, in years 76 to 80), I would jump on it. Let's just say I'm not crazy enough to punish me again in my dealing a financial investment totally irrational ... Damage, the myth was yet in my hands and my feet.
10/10, automatically.
