UTILIZATION

Simple configuration ... you turn the knobs until it finds the sound for and presto:

- Volume: say anything
- Tone: not perfect but effective enough to draw sound
- Sustain: The range of the same distortion is fairly small (I can not make the difference between the knob halfway or background) but there is plenty to do.

The knobs are hard to turn what is really a good point, it will not change its perfect rglage by moving the pedals or walking around his foot over his pedalboard.

A small nanmoins default: the power plug is in the format mini-jack that is no longer current trs, forced to use a adptateur to power via a power supply 'garland.

SOUND QUALITY

This is indeed a fuzz (or rather a hybrid of fuzz and overdrive) so yes it's filthy from DEFINITIONS / draft and so we lose frquences but it is the the charm of a fuzz! Try before you buy impractical (I conois perfectly pedals that can not appeal).
Like almost everywhere else, according to the guitar sound is variable, I use it with an EMG 85/60 esp climbs and a strat us (microphones so simple), the whole branch in Peavey Classic 50 (all lamps) .

- Esp With the pedals alone is not enough and too much fuzz overdrive my taste, but uses a lightweight overdrive downstream (H & K tube factor in my case) the sound is glove! A well cradingue (but not too), this little fawn's "dcrochage Velcro" every big shot mdiator ... your exact solo is terrible.

- With this strat diffrent, the sound is too clump when I muff the couple with the tube factor but only uses your exact trs is convincing. You can really do to Hendrix, Jack White, Frusciante and Gilmour (with a small delay found a really dirty dlicieusement solo "time") to name a few ...

You can also put a clean boost upstream to gain power in his try.

OVERALL OPINION

I put 9 / 10 the pedals because it is good but not perfect sr Fuzz makes a good trs his office. The ratio quality price is right no more but this is not the ruin.

- What are the effects or types of effects available?

They say it is the queen of Fuzz ... my ears tell me that "fuzz", of course ... but "overdrive" too!

- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)

Analog hard-!

- Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?

What? What PC? Command post? Putaing Cong?

- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)

1 input, 1 output, a power supply (not included)

- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?

Pedals!

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

Uh ... I would say that mold would use it!

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?

Yes ... since you said yes!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

What manual? What was the point?

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?

As I said above ... is called a Fuzz pedals that a max overdrive following the rglage, the guitar and amp used!
With a super clean channel ... it sends the wood as I like!

- Which instruments do you use?

SG Standard, Koch Twintone! The Panard!

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

I use it sparingly ... all of my config micro SG is a perfect match with shuffled with a Small Clone and I am the head of a weapon of wood!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

For a long time ... and as the Small Clone ... I had sold and I came back! The pots viexu what!

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

(+): The well sr ... trs ct its versatile too! It may sound like very modern vintage too!
(-) Of experience, I think we need to couple it with an amp with great clean channel ... the foot is ... otherwise, it may eat a lot of sound and s'parpiller a little

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Boss, Ibanez, Marshall etc ... I return to EH! Never the ... trs but personal! Must try!

- How do you report qualitprix?

Today, it is presqu'imbattable!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, the evidence ... j'tais party and I came back

Big Muff Frabriquée aus STATES.
the USD is less dirty and less powerful than the Russian version!
us sound less dirty.
and those ki want this pedal pke Munky of Korn User, c missed, they couple with their mesa distortion, dc the sound of the pedal alone is absolutely the same pa ...

UTILIZATION

Super simple, volume, equalizer simple, and sustain

SOUND QUALITY

His drooling hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Again I prefer the sound of the big muff Russia, for the best solos and rhythmic (e cheaper)

OVERALL OPINION

Us version is more versatile for me, we go pe dun have a big fuzz overdrive, the ORT Russian version is huge for his loverdrive but kestion STONER, DOOM or so, the sound is 20 times more powerful and cheaper!
I'll machete the Russian version and resell the US

I would say it has many sounds that are fuzz, saturation and overdrive. Basically it is when even a fuzz pedals and this is the best o it provides.
The PDAL is mtal manufacturing, it is also quite heavy which makes it sound trs, 3 knobs (volume, tone and sustain), switch on / off (a little too hard and quite a turn noisy), an input and an output jack.

UTILIZATION

With 3 knobs, it is faster around the bte and quickly found its own rglages, no need for manual

SOUND QUALITY

I use the big muff on the clean channel of a Laney TF100 (on channel saturated sound becomes too rough and incontrlable)
you can get three tones:
- With the tone knob 1 / 4 and sustain blok, we obtain a saturation trs trs consistent round like "SANTANA"
- With the tone knob a little over 50% and sustain blok, we get a super fuzz vintage of great quality very dirty type "HENDRIX"
- With the sustain knob has half results in a slightly less convincing overdrive I think.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years
The +: the quality of its product, the robustness of the pedals
The -: one thing, the switch is too noisy and is hard enough to activate
For 70 euros it is a quality of pedals I advise everyone!

Volume, Tone gain.

+ Good quality manufacturing
+ 3PDT switch, so it's a TRUE bypass

9V power supply from mini-jack.
PDAL-quite cumbersome.

UTILIZATION

I have the knobs prfr of the Russian version that can turn the tips of their feet without falling.

if the manual is nothing, there is nothing complicated ...

is not made to play rock'n'roll.

SOUND QUALITY

A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! we like it or not.

I play on a branch on a tl VS65R Marshall (hybrid), I tried the TAR, turboRAT, DS-1, BSIAB and others, I find that the Big Muff is one that is better for simple microphones.

The sound palette is not wide, I have a sound. I vary the gain for a few times its a little more dgueu.

It is the distortion of the Smashing Pumpkins, Cherub Rock Listen titles, Zero to get an ide.

US version is more lgrement prcise the Russian, but the diffrence is not at all empty. I have less background noise with the Russian ... weird right? Fortunately, the noise disappears when I play.

The grain is rather unique, a claque unless a rat and gave her a very "smooth".
You can not just play with.
I also use it with my bass and trs trs trs trs work well.

+ LE's
Sustain Terribas + '!
+ Allows for a rather large distortion with simple meicros
- A lot of background noise ...
- A single sound

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week and I thank EH Designed to have a distortion that works for both single coils !!!!!

Purchase of AF for 55, I would do without this choice hsiter Report qualitprix INTERESTED trs.

I tried Russian, there is almost no diffrence.

L I pass, see other review

UTILIZATION

The setup is super complicated, takes at least 10 tank for dipping the trick! in addition there is no manual is frankly stingy given the price of the bte!

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality? Ben a fuzz or something more dirty blues to choose from ... In any case adchire serious!

OVERALL OPINION

What I like least? May be a bit fragile paint on the hood ... but hey what matters is the sound, and on this discomfort is not the trs good! May even be too: a Squella can leave to have a serious passion for dvora muff. So when in doubt consult your Physicians! For cases without hope there is even a double muff ...

After a few months of practice, I'm a little too dirty lass finally has the sound of a sudden he comes out of something that Relva boiled over as the zik ... Finally got a subjective question ... So I do not use more sparingly ...

- Analog fuzz pedals
- Three pots: volume, tone, sustain
between power supply 9 volts

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple setup, no need for manual

The edition is very easy course, but with these three pots are a billion possibilities, must spend much time to get what you prefer! (also hard to know ...)

by the power supply against the MODEL ncassaire is not standard, the company is mini jack

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with amp on Jazzmaster Fender Hot Rod DeVille All Tube
the sound is very very big, very very saturbr /> is not the slight crunch drive you get with it!
I used to beginners in its main distortion but I abandon the IDE because the sound is rather synthetic When we increase the tone to the treble
The sustain is very knob fficale, turns back gives a virtually continuous note!
now I use it very sparingly rather trying to get something very spcial with ... because you can not say that this is not one of pedals qualitbr /> In conclusion for the sound I would say it is rather good provided you have correctly identified the object and Russia use it as you want!

OVERALL OPINION

I have used it for 6 months
- I prefer it's very saturated gain sound very typical big muff (very big your fat)
Do I like the least is the big buzz that DGIG ds that the triggers, and the fact that it is very very versatile little
-70 Euros say anything at Thomann
-With experience, so I was looking for my main distortion I would take re not, it is very intrrssant cons of having a rack of pedals among its

-The problem since I rgl the big buzz! in fact it was an alim dfaillante in my rack that was PDAL has! now that I replace the PSU with a PSU dfaillante of quality I have no problem at all!

- A fuzz (beautiful.

- From analog (that is ca real)!

- An input, an output and a power supply.

UTILIZATION

Simpler than a you die!

A gain, a tone and volume!

A manual of 356 pages in small and described without illustration but it is Necessary for the machine matriser NOOOOON srieusement I laugh? you need a manual for three button?

SOUND QUALITY

Effective? to say the least this is a killer pedals! infact you can turn the pots at random and the sound that comes out is always a rgal for the ears!

The tone is super ca prcis can not be said of all the tones that we find in his life as a musician gain and volume is such a pleasure prcis and AC makes some p dales with 5 or 6 buttons can s'avrer prcise less than this.

I use a Gibson Les Paul and a half MODEL mikael kelly amp box at a marshall 4x12 cabinet with celestion greenback is VOX AC30 CCH a head or an ENGL powerball

and whatever the guitar or the head it sounds wonderful!

idalie for Solos quite sufficient power or greasy chrords

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently but it's become a dj PDAL indispenssable me

I prfre? its simplicity yet with a terrible sound that kills you retue APRS and you are dead!

Before I try to buy a lot of pedals and distos boss gt3, 5.10, and no sexual n'tait as the Big Muff in fact I like it as much as the heads of my distos amp (vox and engl)

report quality price is right trs in 70 for the sound that comes out of the pedals is reasonable trs

I would do if the choice?? But with eyes closed, my friends, in fact I wonder if I'm not going CRER the sect of worshipers of the big muff!

Bn srieux if like me you ask, but what hell I might as well try distos pedals of the 50 of this store and try the Big Muff and harder ... try out without having bought.

Does everything said.

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, and the sound of Muff, recognizable.

SOUND QUALITY

Muff is a good the pedals in his inimitable, and I think any fan of the Smashing Pumpkins identify aussitt. That said, I'm loving this group j'apprcie the pedals for a different reason:
She normment Character! While it is not of great versatility, but I prfre sound like the a sound bland. Plutt than distortion pedals of which "can cover all records" and who ultimately have no personality.

I've seen enough notice abroad (embassy at random), which does not seem to like the rough aspect of the thing. Either. But it's a fuzz, and do not be surprised. This is a particular sound, we like to play with or not. And the fact is that many, many guitarists (Billy Corgan, for example?) Or bass (the Muse) like to play with the one which I think is the guarantee it has something for her ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

A classic. We love or we dtest. Me, I love it!
However, since the effects are passs by store and you can get ouf of the fuzz for the same price. Or clones of the old muff at good prices. So, it s me parat less essential to the pedalboard.
At present I gave him a Soda Meiser prfr Devi Ever. Pumpkins fan, there is a trs's Siamese Dream.

One volume, one tone, sustain.
An input, no output.
Switch.
9v power supply or 9V battery. Simplicity itself.
Inside the large box, a small circuit for a big analog fuzz.

Only minor drawbacks: for the power supply sector, they have a mini jack. And size of the box may surprise (after m'enfin you can buy the little big muff, eh).

UTILIZATION

Change is a super simple, and knobs of the race is very long. So, it fits easily into any-any configuration.

I just had a little problem with the battery door, it was necessary to force some to close, the battery sticking out of the chassis ... But hey, prefer the power supply sector.

SOUND QUALITY

Fuzz is a very clean I think. The output level is impressive. The sustain is over-saturating the signal from 3am, but it's still not too rough (for a fuzz, right) and wow, but what sustain! Against by the sound quickly becomes plastic as soon as you exceed 1 hour on the tone. This gives the creamy fuzz with the tone and sustain under 11h: a treat. In short it sends the puree, while remaining gentle enough if one does not abuse the tone that quickly turns squeaking. In addition it generates very, very short of breath (in me anyway y'en hardly, even at high volume).

I use with my RX200 Lag on my Marshall 8080 (while waiting to re-use my Laney GH100S), coupled with an equation Boss GE-7, because a good equation it changes your life, anyway. I love the large well rounded and warm that can be drawn. Sounds good vintage.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little less than 2 years now I know why I waited so long before I decide.
Sure, it's not a super versatile pedal, but I get tired of his grain.
I bought it brand new € 60, with the dollar very weak at the time. At that price, it's worth it.
If she were to let me go (but any-nan, a big muff is indestructible), I would buy one pronto. Unless, a Hot Tubes ... But it's not the same budget.

Fuzz-Analog,
-Volume Control (not a Blend between signal and effect, just volume effect: for when the pedals is enabled the direct bye bye!)
Tonalitbr-/>-Sustain
Between -1, 1 output jack 1 / 4,
9V-location.
A minijack-in power supply and an ON / OFF button (not included and not readily available (in Royez anyway), [not the button, the power supply!])

Nothing complicated!
8 because we regret not having a knob to Dry Out as the POG!

UTILIZATION

Config simple, easy edition, the manual is a sheet that explains nothing! But you one really need being told how a Fuzz with 3 buttons??

SOUND QUALITY

Then the quality! I had an accumulation of the pedals on my GT6-B, and see nothing! is 100 times better! we get a little sustain trs trs looooooooooooooong and dirty, a very acute Fuzz TRS deaf

the volume knob does the volume effect RULES and no direct signal is heard from the pedals when it is active resulting in a loss of your branch if you forcment Instrument> Effects> Amp , so he better put it in the effects loop of the amp but still there even when a loss lgre when we set off!

EDIT: problem with rgl plaant the Big Muff in the loop A of a Boss LS2 and leaving the loop B empty. You put the two LS in "A + B mix" and the knob A becomes the volume of the WB and the volume knob B signal Direct! Magic!
Otherwise, it does bypass the sound ABSOLUTELY NOT! THANK YOU Uncle Tom, thank you!
No "pok" has the engagement.

I use it with a Jazz Bass Ash American Deluxe Saddle button on a head and a SWR SM 500 SWR Goliath III cabinet is simply gnial!

Some speak of a standard breath! WRONG! in the instructions it says:

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>To Achieve icts long sustain, the Big Muff Pi HAS very high maximum gain. This
Requires That pickups and shielded cables Be Well and Properly grounded to Avoid
When excessive hum high sustain control settings are used. "</span>
It is on everyone does not speak English, I do. Lol.

It is therefore prcis that the pedals are used with instruments and microphones well insulated and shielded cables and quality that the amp must be put earth! sre if it is played with a scraper, an amplifier has two jacks and balls in a house that is 100 years old will not help!

Again, 8 Dry Out a cause of which is not the

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months for real, four-year accumulation (Phew, it's over this time l!), I love it, I have not tried other models, c is it that I had a t love at first sight like with my Jazz Bass!
Report QualitPrix-amazing! 70 euros is given!
I do it again this choice without hsiter! I can not do without!

It's simple, 3 knobs, volume (important when you are apart ...), tone, the difference, and which sustain the spirit of the pedals! Clearly, the 3 trs rglages are efficient and can find the sound that goes well, which is a good trs.
Alim in jack, large aluminum box in a box made of wood, coating sky below, vintage all the way, it's science fiction era trs David Vincent!

UTILIZATION

This is strictly for overuse, so it's to rock and my friends, it's a strat srieux.Idal is hendrixien, hit the nail if c ' is rgl.
Super low volume rglage 10am 11am 9am, but the foot is 15h 11h 15h to go ... because the sustain level is trs cool when pushed. The Tone was soon screaming going south, it is best to stay-in.
word, no breath, sound, big sound, gender or crmeux acid is as gots, trs pais, with a fine attack, a sound that becomes deaf, harmonic , erratic but not too much like a fuzz face. The trs rglages are effective and can have a big fuzz or overdrive trs sweet as another kind trs aggressive hypersaturation 80s. The sustain is to go as low taking the guts, class.

SOUND QUALITY

Start with a one amp lamps is the best config for the pedals. It grows excs the good bourgeois strat well wishes and sweet that will become ever Screamer! Only default, it is somewhat invasive in a pedal board, but it's a bit like her, invading and beautiful once, in the upscale excs. It's a fuzz, not a nice boost!
Again, the Tone is SETTING THE trs questionable or screaming if pushed to extreme rglages but it is also used to make a fuzz of its kind ... a 80's bad for a well done.

OVERALL OPINION

This is more consistent, less nervous and medium plus contrlable a fuzz face. In short, a fuzz of great class, a real with a real analog sound. In between, it is less exclusive and more versatile.
I bought it on ebay 40 euros there prs two years, it's cheap for the enjoyment indfniment renewal!
Arrange to be alone for an hour and drop you a high volume, Start neck pickup, big muff calls and play with a bit of sensuality ... close the eyes. Think that you could be in another life and you will understand why one day you learned to play guitar electric.
10 of 10 on the scale of fuzz, if you only have 5 has to do everything.

Manufactures in the United States is nothing less than the "fuzz" based on four legendary advantages of distortion team of silicon transistors. Technically we should talk about a distortion even if the Costs It has to do a fuzzy monster. : P

Three (roughly enough to mumuse with toes XD) well ractifs knobs, Volume, tone and sustain. Playing it as much on a sustain itself as the crtage signal and thus the violence of the effect.

We are analogue pedals prsence a pure juice, few CONTRL, did what we asked to do and that&#39;s it (for the delight of the noisy).

Also note, the prsence a true bypass and an LED RED!!

All condensed in a housing mastoc, trs charismatic, seemingly robust could no problem organizing your pedalboard in its scope but give him a mouth of hell)

After going a lil less on canvas prsence as a power supply socket of an old mini jack, has the amricaine, who has asked to buy some adapters.

Knowing that those who would gns for the last two points can fall back on the Little Big Muff. / \ I compared the two with a friend possdant other and they sound significantly diffrent, we still do not understand why ...

UTILIZATION

Sound of the trs typ Muff as we find our happiness pretty quickly if you know what to expect. Through 5 minutes of rglages, quickly found "the" sound befitting our ears.

The volume allows you to weigh the db of boost you have in triggering the bug. It may be helpful to get out of the mix when you play a solo, and you can always return it if you have a rhythm, regardless of the amount of "sustain" addition.

The tone covers a wide range, the bass sound is the extreme, even the humming nasal tuft in SETTINGS trslgers around 12 hours we have a well with a wide prdominance of serious.

Sustain allows you to have a sound like a more extreme vintage. Before / around 12 o&#39;clock we find the sonoritsa Santana, Hendrix. APRS is a 12 hours a fuzz IDAL for rhythmic grunge / garage style Mudhoney over 3 hours it turns into the big sound crados, which wakes the acute and rained harmonics. It becomes a master in the sport and rhythmic ca CLEAR serious about solos.

Let those who find it lacks controls console themselves because its tempra ractif still allows enough even to do some more research if the DSIR. Whether playing the equalizer on the amp, the volume of the guitar (it even has a lot Ragit trs low volume, ca provides a relatively espce crunch exploitable) but have not RVer, does not mean ractif versatile sound that typ caractriel Big Muff, ca propelled out of the mix ... ... But it will not please every ear.

The manual is on a sheet of paper ...

SOUND QUALITY

To be effective in the east. You get what you want, large enough to sustain pt to go to a pizza cafcommander / go to the toilet during a bend ...

Clearly it&#39;s the fuzz exception is dirty, it&#39;s heavy, has a peak in brief death DGIG ca! Metallic / not for the sensitive

RULES I like it (a tone chouilla below 12 hours and sustain hair APRS 15h) it serves me as serious as vibrant as sharp squeaks or I walk on the sleeve of my Jazzmaster Classic Player Special. I usually play on a Vox Valvetronix, but that&#39;s nothing compared to what I could get by plugging in two MI 60 all lamps. I use it mostly on the bridge pickup, it gives me obviously more precision to master the craft. I also tried with a Telecaster amricaine and also suits him perfectly.

Once again, it&#39;s a really CHARACTERISTICS better know what it is before you buy.

The breath is the only problem I do not play when it really can be Submitted by the SETTING THE PDAL (more volume / = more sustain out of breath). Note all the same I play a Jazzmaster, the electrical installation of my old apartment did a lot of noise and the fact that I could not test it other than in spices Survolt es (computers, wifi, other amps, the other a scratch oversized go deaf drummer ...).

As for those who love the sound of the pedals but that does not support his breath should not do without it because it fits well with a trs pti cheap noise gate. I tested with the noise gate to a friend Harley Benton and ca rsoud quivoque not the problem.

In short if the breath scares you, or you know the prdispositions your guitar in the Contents, go your way, buy or make a noise gate with it! ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had one month and I love to madness. I had to search a bit before finding the sound I wanted, I found it and I am satisfied with TRS. I tried all the Big Muff in the range (the Little Tone Wicker and version) as the tone wicker accessory really nice, but ultimately difficult to use in groups (violent boost volume) too much worse (j &#39; pe will try to bypass my tone alone), the Little with his slightly differ and (DLIR kid) a case which certainly is more convenient but not the trappings of kitsch former I port my choice of the most classic Fuzz.

Pay 68 euros, it&#39;s still reasonable for a fuzz of this magnitude, even if for any distortion pedals.

Of course I would do this choice even if I wish I could get hold of an old Russian Big Muff ...

See other reviews for more details.

Fuzz the legendary ...

This is one that has the most mouth on the pedalboard! FMeasure size is not super convenient but throws!

It's a real tank, there is something to jump feet together it to lock (that said, I deprecated all the same!). It is a pleasure to play with three standard knobs (Volume, Tone, Sustain).
Attention, it possde power mini jack so you do buy a small adapter if you use a standard power supply.

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use. 3 knobs. RULES you your sound by playing on Sustain and Tone, volume and tone ADJUSTED you go! Trs quickly found our sound if you know what to expect well-sr! It is not always easy to master that in some wild bte rglages but it's so good!

SOUND QUALITY

The pedals do not please absolutely everyone. Versatility is far from being the quality Premire. This is the type most pedals of my pedalboard. A single grain and unmistakable. A must try so ... Prior to

Anyway I like! Oh yes I love! It's bold, it mchant, it's dirty! It's not a Fiott of pedals ( <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" /> pedals ...... Fiott ........ drop).

Tone is an extreme one: the hum trs deaf to his screaming and breaking the ears! It's all in the right measure ...

The Sustain (= saturation) Go pais good vintage sound of many wild dirty distortion.

I use it for two styles: vintage sounds fawn Hendrix ... nerv and garage rock power chord to blow.

L o is the most common is when a couple of overdrive / distortion nicer ... For solos it gnial. Personal, sometimes a great big bend silmple roar that makes the big muff is better than a solo full of technique (I'm not so good a trs suits me!)!

I use a Laney VC15 (all lamps) with a strat lonestar (with Seymour Duncan humbucker).

Obviously, many in this small nerve boi-box product of breath ... you your prvenus.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6-7 months. OCCAZ buy 45 euros I think. It is the only fuzz I've tried. I ignored his legends. And I'm not! It is trs type, and it has that I like, but the risk of scaring some people. So try before.
