Sold mine without regrets, was sick and tired of uncontrolled highs. Also, typical low impedance input problems: it`s good for those who likes the volume-knob-wanking, but say hello to the tone sucking if pedal is not first in the chain - Fuzz Face heritage at it`s best. Was thinking about modding it, it seems not so hard, but in the end decided to buy another, real muff fuzz. IMO, Double Muff delivers a good, fat fuzz at max settings of D2, and works best for muddy pickups and amps(and for deaf players, lol), the rest of players should prepare their ears to be raped by tameless highs.
@@dm-nq9te sorry but you're not good to it, it happens. I totally love mines, I have both the two versions and I love the but I use most the mini. Never had issues and never use the tone knob on the guitar but it's very simple and useful to do and results are better the tone pot on the pedals imho. One of the most versatile pedals with a lot of headroom, animpressive dynamics and really touch sensitive, totally great before my vintage Coron dist 10 and coupled are heaven.
My double muff was used live outdoors, mild rust, got it repainted by a friend with gold sparkles and a volcano theme on it for my 18th birthday, 17 years ago. Played it through cranked vintage amps, hotrodded amps, practice amps, my go-to desert island pedal
The Muff Fuzz, and by extension the Double Muff, have never gotten the play they deserve. I have been a Muff Fuzz devotee for going on 15 years now, still my go-to dirt pedal. Even though I am big Big Muff fan, I like the Muff Fuzz more. Has WAY more applications. I'm glad others are spreading the good news of the Muff Fuzz.

I have a black face Muff Fuzz that I bought in pieces in the mid-70’s (I cost me a tenner!), and it lay in a box in my bedroom for 35 years until I found a circuit diagram and photos of the internal connections to enable me to put it back together! And it’s a fantastic little fuzz! It’s perfect for the Phil Miller-style sustained guitar solo sound I love on Hatfield & The North’s “Rotter’s Club” album. It’s a strangely overlooked pedal from EH’s history.
Guys, how about making a video about the Black Arts Toneworks LSTR? It`s a modded Violet Ram's Head, killer sounding "doom in a box", and it has unfairly few reviews!
@@WeAsACompany It would be great! Perhaps some of you have friends who could provide a pedal for testing) Or you make videos for pedals from non-mass market builders on some terms? just curious
i have a rockerverb i widh you would have shown how it sounds on the dirty channel with different sort of gain stage but i understand this vid is not about the amp
A much weaker sound compared to the originals with their Ge diodes. It's no wonder they call the single unit the "Muff Overdrive" now. The Fredric Effects Demon Fuzz is a better option. It's the IC Muff Fuzz circuit with the option to select between Ge and Si diodes.
The Muff Fuzz clone I have came from Fredric. It was custom built for me in a plain enclosure with the recommended with the recommended charge pump Klon buffer. My all time favorite dirt pedal still after 15 years or so.
That's good to know, are you basin your opinion of the double muff from this video or personal experience? I'm just asking as i get, in my opinion, better sounds out of it than this video suggests are possible. I love my DM, but if the IC muff fuzz is as good as you say I'll give one a go
@@DirkGentley42 Personal experience. I think it’s more a function of the Ge clipping diodes that aren’f in the Double Muff and newer Muff Overdrives than whether it’s IC or transistor. The Demon Fuzz has a bit more dirt and a diode switch so you can have the Si “Ovedrive” sound and a bit more volume if you prefer. The IC Muff Fuzzes from the 70’s are kind of annoying because they aren’t pedals. They’re plug-in boxes with a single knob and on/off switch like the original Muffs and Linear Power Boosters from ‘67.
This is probably the most overlooked Muff pedal out there. Not easy to use but definitely unique. What do you think?

@@dm-nq9te Does your guitar not have a tone knob?
@@Eliphas_Elric most people will never touch their tone knob, just keep it on 10 and struggle to find their tone constantly
@@Eliphas_Elric no volume, no tone, it's for pussies
real men choosing "on/off" switch and pickup connected straight to the output

Def. underrated, these pedals react really well to the guitar’s volume knob.

I always get psyched when a new video of yours pops up. Great job on this one, as always.
Thx very much!
Nice Peter Buck thing at the end! ;)

Sounds fantastic!
i never knew there was such a beast. the hunt is on.
It’s very bright, might need to use ur tone knob or an eq pedal

I love it ❤️ the only downside is that it’s very very sensitive to buffers.
Gotta have it first in chain
When the looper pedal is used, the sound changes due to the impedance
I haver one of these! Cool sounds!

We love BAT pedals. We'll try to contact them and see if they're interested in a video.

You should make a video on Tone Ink pedals, they are awesome
I'll be honest, I watched you adjust the knobs and I'm still confused, lol.
🤣

@@MrDpool1 thanks for that, it's useful to know. I've got a few Ge diodes so I'll check it the difference. Cheers.
@@DirkGentley42 They used 1N34A’s, not 1N270’s.
so its basically like having a dirty od in front right?
Why didn't you turn either or both all the way up at any point??
Cause you don't need it and it sounds better that way.
I have one of these but it broke two days after receiving it used lmao
Does this pedal still give that mid scoop that the big muff does ?
Nope
The only difference i hear is the volume going up and down.
the gloves...lol cmon
