Fuzz pedal / Disto arch known, used by David Gilmour, Santana ...
At the base was made thinking about Hendrix as a future user, but it would not have had time to play ...
3 buttons classsiques: Vol, Tone, Sustain (gain or drive)

It is a fuzz which draws on the distortion, ie the saturated portion is not a predominance of acute.

It uses conventional silicon components (diodes and transisors) here not as a Germanium Fuzz Face or the Factory.
A more right, more direct, less draft more balanced.

UTILIZATION

Not much to say, three buttons is childish.

The case is HUGE, that's means and the taking of power supply is not classic, a small jack end, not the Boss of 9v.

SOUND QUALITY

Big sound very heavy, not for the musette what;)

Here strong predominance of low, mid dug.

OVERALL OPINION

It's big and well packed, perfect for solos or power chords. In the long run I think the lack of mediums is heavy, there are alternatives to the pedals inspired by the muff and correct its flaws (lack of mediums, too much compression)

Pete Cornish P2
The Muff from Gilmour. Version, which buries the MUFF great but is very expensive: € 517 in 2011

Classic 70's experience of JMB. MUFF-based sound is almost identical to a P2, very present, made in France.

Top DG1 or DG2 tone also quite expensive (Brazil), its identical to the P2 as well.
