Electro Harmonix pedals?

[Christobevii3]

I have a boss me 50 and a crybaby going into my crate v30. As of right now i have a jackson HSS with pearly gates/cool rail/lil 59er, and sheraton II with JB and Jazz.

So i'm likeing a few of the pedals clips off of musicians friends, but not sure which pedal is for what. So i'm wondering if someone has a guide on what is what of these?

The double muff, one of the clips sounds a lot like the sounds that billy corgin used in the smashing pumpkins.

The big muff kinda sounds like korn?

Lil big muff not sure?

So i was wondering what you guys would describe as each, thanks!

The best way to describe this pedal is: Wall of Fuzz, it is a fuzz pedal. And it does massive fuzz best. I own one and love it.

What is the little big muff like?

I kinda liked the double muff on the 1 muff setting. Kinda sounded like a lot of newer rock bands sound.

If you want the Smashing Pumpkins sound, get an older USA NYC reissue (knurled knob). Run the pedal into a clean amp and set the sustain and volume all the way up and tone at about 3 o'clock or as bright as you can stand it.

Avoid the newer reissues as they changed the sweep of the tone knob so it goes from mud to shrill in about 1/16 of a turn. It sounded like complete and total a** IMO. The Double Muff is ok, but not as versatile as the Big Muff. The Lil Big Muff is just the new NYC RI in a smaller box; same sh*t tone.
