History of all the Big Muff Variations

Re: History of all the Big Muff Variations

Have you done or could you do an overview or chart (or even comparison audio) of how the variations differ?

Really interested in Fuzz pedals, but I'm never sure which ones to get, especially if there are tons of variations (such as with the Big Muff) and next to no good comparison videos.
Just ordered myself a Violet Ram's Head Muff kit, hope it works out for me.

Big Muff always sounds like it does. Variation is mostly just about different "flavors" of the thing.

Ie. differently specced components inside. The circuit is what makes it and is very much the same to my knowledge through variations.

The 75 muffs are very smooth with a lot of gain and a very balanced tone section.
The 76 muffs have a bit more high-end due to them having a very open tone, a bit more mids and a gritty, crunchy fuzz.
75 muffs are more Gilmour and the Comfortably Numb lead tone where as J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. uses a 76.

The green Russian is my favorite. Sounds great on bass. A Pete Cornish P19 has to be my favorite for guitar. It’s not an EHX but it is a muff variant.

I have a "Tone Wicker" Big Muff from several years ago. Wish it still worked. Fairly fun fuzz.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot, I got one of those over the summer, I need to dig it out. I’ve never even fired it up.
