Published on 11/30/11 at 11:53Electro harmonics has really dominated the effects world with such high quality and great sounding effects pedals. They're probably most well-known for their Big muff pedals that have really been the standard for fuzz distortion in the music industry. These pedals have a nice thick rich warm fuzz tone that sounds fantastic any amp or even a clean amplifier. This is the pedal that it's basically the exact same title as the American-built big muff pedal but simply this one it was made in Russia.
UTILIZATION
The special comes with three control knobs just like the American version. You have a volume control, you have a distortion control which would've been the equivalent of the sustain in the American version, and then you have a tone control. What up is also interesting is the foot switch button is a little bit bigger and wider than your normal clickers of the boss pedals or any other type of MXR pedal or Electro Harmonics pedal.
SOUND QUALITY
The tone of this pedal is quite similar to the Electro Harmonics big Muff American-made pedal. It has the same gainy structure with thick distortion as you would see or hear. It does come in a sort of military looking box which is quite appealing to me in some respects. It also comes with a nice wooden box for the overall case. The tone is cool and the only fuzz pedal that I would ever use.
OVERALL OPINION
These pedals come in used at right at around $260. They are fairy expense and a lot more expensive than the American-built. These are very cool pedals and if you can find one at a decent price I would suggest just grabbing it because it's a cool collectors item as well. Otherwise i would just go with the American built version which sound basically the same for much less of a price. Not as military looking but the tone and sound is there.
