EHX Big Muff

[element]

I was wondering if anybody knew the differences between the russian and american made big muff pedals, apart from the aesthetics.

This will probably get moved...anyway, I think the Russian one is the original and the USA Big Muff is the re-issue...I was looking to get one, but the USA ones get MEH(so-so) reviews on their durability!

Sorry jon, wasnt sure where to post it as it was guitar related i thought guitar forum, never even noticed the general one before anyway.... Went to a shop today and tried them both out, and decided on the usa model, felt better quality and had a bigger sound to it.

Does it compare with other stomp boxes out there...like the Zkk OD? Can you provide clips? You know I love stomp boxes and spending money

Its my 1st pedal, so I have nothing to compare with. And I didnt try any others when I was buying it because I knew that was the one I wanted. But I am very impressed with it, I thought the wooden box was a nice touch. you can go to the electro-harmonix website and download different artists using it if you want to hear it. I have tried it on my guitar, although it was bought for my bass, and it sounds absolutley brilliant on both.

im real careful with all my gear anyway so that didnt bother me, and i dont gig, so it shouldnt be a problem

Yeah I like that wooden box...can I ask what you paid? I see them on Ebay for 59.99

I paid £75. The russian model was £55. I had seen the USA ones for £55 on ebay, but there werent any there, and the cheapest from an online shop was £65 excluding post and packing. All in all im glad I bought it from a shop cos I had a good half an hour with them both before I bought.

How HEAVY does the distortion get? (You know I like it hard n' heavy)

It does go heavy, but i'd say its more crunchy than heavy if that makes sense. I've done a few clips of letting one chord ring with 3 different settings so you can get a basic idea.
