Its big, yet small. Green and black...and more than a little hairy.
Anybody wanna guess?

Re: New pedal day!
You're so close that I'm giving you the victory.
Its the new nano bass Big Muff. Its based on the green Sovtek and it rips. It has a thick, dare I say "crushing" low end that's perfect for the heavy fuzzed-out tones of bands that should be more popular while maintaining more than enough clarity for chords and lead runs.
Add in the "tweaked" EQ and you get a massive fuzz that doesn't flub out under low tunings. Another cool feature is the dry switch. It sets your clean signal at unity gain and changes the volume knob to a blend circuit allowing you to dial in however much fuzz you want. I haven't actually used it on a bass yet, (go figure), but the "blend" feature lets you get some sputtery velcro sounds while playing a normal old electric guitar.
If you dig the sounds of the green sovtek or muffs in general I highly recommend this pedal. At $80 its a steal in a market flooded with expensive boutique clones. (Many of which I'm a fan of)

Re: New pedal day!
Its become pretty difficult to fina a bad monkey that isn't from Ebay. As much as I love my boutique junk I'm still a "bang for your buck" kinda cat. I regret not buying one when my LGS stocked 'em.

Do it.
I'm not sure what tones you're chasing but I'm sure you'll find something in the Bass Big Muff. Don't feel too bad when you permanently steal it from him.

I'm interested in it for no other reason than the blend feature. That's f'n brilliant.

Its a cool feature for sure. It gives you a very cool lo-fi vibe. For a "cheap" fuzz its pretty ballin'.

It would honestly be for S's & G's, but that's what this is all for right?

Re: New pedal day!
I am a huge Muff afficianado and was pleasantly surprised when I A/B'd the fullsize NYC Pi with the new Nano and found they were identical. The Little Big.Muff didn't even sound close, but the Nano nails it.
I'll have one of those bass nanos eventually but I bought a Black Arts Coven and an Abominable Hail Cannabis recently so I'm going to nail down other FX before indulging in more muffs...

Re: New pedal day!
I was gonna buy the Black Arts Destroyer, but for $80 this can't be beat.
You're right about the LBM, it was not even close to the BMP. The XO series muffs are kinda weird, hence why when I saw the Nano Bass Muff I jumped at it. The standard XO sized bass muff has a three way switch that can engage a bass boost to compensate, this one doesn't have it because its nit needed.
