Ordered an EHX Little Big Muff Pi and got it yesterday.
Not for me.
Plugged it in inline with the sound chain like this: Strat > Crybaby Classic > Muff > Princeton Recording Amp. Stomped on the Muff.
It was like someone poured liquid excrement all over my tone, and then squeezed that between two bricks of excrement before throwing it all into an excrement pit.
I don't see how guitarists get a good sound with this thing. I fiddled with the settings, put the muff before the wah, used it with a battery and with the One-Stop, changed amp settings, upgraded the battery. Nothing worked. The pedal was noisy from the get-go (even before engaging it), killed my bass and shrunk my sound. Nothing like a Fuzz Face. No dynamics. Just excrement.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, because the Muff has been around for 40 years. Some of my favorite players - Gilmour in particular - have used one on some of my favorite songs.
I'm sending this back. Maybe I'll try a Way Huge Swollen Pickle, but I'm just thinking the Muff sound isn't for me.
