[Blille]

Got this as soon as they became available I can’t play it now without waking up my kids but hopefully I’ll do a proper report tomorrow.

Here’s their demo

I need one of these! Back in the early 70s I had a Guild Foxy Lady. That was a triangle Big Muff Pi rebranded for Guild. It got stolen, and over the years I get newer Muffs and they just don’t have the same smooth tone.

Love the lead tones in these. I'm curious how these compare to the basic nyc-pi reissue.

I'm brand new to muffs having recently bought the opamp reissue. It's possibly the only version I would really get along with for my basic riffing. (thrash/death/black/white/green ect.,, metal) Maybe it's crazy but I like the opamp even better with a Boss CS-3 in front. (all knobs on cs-3 near noon except for the level between 1:00 and 2:00) Depends on the guitar/pickups of course.

That's on my wish list.

Update: played with it this morning and it’s exactly what you’d expect: a triangle muff lol

I played on my HS strat in a 5e3 at breakup but my experience is that Muffs usually takeover any setup so it should be representative.

I really liked it, it has that classic wooliness and ridiculous sustain that I personally love. I don’t have another triangle now but compared to the normal NYC I would say it’s in the same vein but without the harshness that the NYC has. Very different from my Hoof since that one is based in a green Russian and has mids on demand. I think the Hoof has a ton of flexibility and has a bit more complexity than the triangle. I can just get one actual tone of the triangle but I love it

Purists stay away, it has SMD.

Cool. I love how EHX is finally reissuing all the different versions of the Muff.

Here you go:





Can’t wait for JHS to swap two caps and charge $100 more.

The “est.1968” is cute.

Same here. There are a couple of boutique shops that pretty much only do Muffs so it’s clear the market was there.

I love the the est. 1968 too.

Basically only SMT resistors, and at EHX scale that makes sense. Enjoy!

This one has tempted me as well as the re-issue green Russian.

My two favorite Big Muff flavors. Definitely worth it IMHO.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue

Oh yeah ... how's the noise floor? Of the three or four fuzz pedals I have the Pharaoh is the quietest.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue

Not its strong suit unfortunately. Muffs are noisy as you know but this one is noisier than my Hoof. Less than the NYC; in its defense I crank sustain and tone up so maybe YMMV.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue

The op-amp reissue doesn't seem noisy at all, but It's not like I really use it in problem scenarios either.
