The Electro Harmonix Français Muff'n is a distortion pedal.
It uses two lamps (Electro Harmonix).
Provided with specific adapter 12 V. Note: you can not use batteries.
UTILIZATION
Use: super simple, turn the knobs. (Input Gain, Output Gain, bass / middle / aspen)
SOUND QUALITY
This is the best pedal distortion / overdrive / gain / Booster I've ever tried. It gives her a very hot respects the sound of guitars. It lets you use the guitar volume while keeping the momentum. Anything goes: Hendrix, ACDC, SRV, Red Hot Chilli Peper, but also sounds kind 'Britpop'. It is incredible.
It feels great to use a tube amp, but with a gain knob that is graduated to 25.
However, this pedal is not suitable for Metal and Hard styles. For jazz, eventually it can work if you use simple microphone and you turn down the gain.
OVERALL OPINION
It's a great pedal, the sound is exceptional.
THE PROBLEM:
I do not know if it's random, but I had to return two times this pedal to my dealer. After using 2 / 3 days, I had a sudden loss of half of the gain and volume. The pedal was losing its appeal. I do not know if it has lights or power, but the transformer is often quoted on the forums to be very fragile.
If we forget this, I think this pedal is essential to your equipment.
