NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
I really like phasors with dirt as well. I usually prefer to put them before.
I have a SF but I have not compared it yet. I do have an MXR Sugar Drive on my board which is in the same family as the SF. Note also the Phasor [emoji6]
I would say they are different worlds IMHO. This Muff is what you heard and the SF is in the Klone family. More of an overdrive with some grit and a specific EQ. You know what? As I write this I realized I should try to stack them. I usually push Muffs with a TS but I think the SD or SF would work too.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
Just bought my first Big Muff (new box version) yesterday. To replace my Foxx inspired Joyo Voodoo Octave.
I must say the classic status is well deserved with these. Awesome pedal.
Same time it's very thick and smooth but still transparent and cutting. It's really brilliant how the knobs are basically set and forget thing. You can get loads of different tones just by altering your playing and guitar controls.
Joyo wasn't bad either. Quite different though. Less lively and dynamic, but more solid "wall of tone" type of pedal where as Muff seems to bleed into your rigs base tone.

Congrats! New box version you mean the NYC?
Like this?
I had one for a long time. I even rehoused it to have it fit on my board, really liked it.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
The old triangles sound best IMO, followed by the rams head, which is pretty much the same circuit. Back in the early 70s I had a Guild Foxy Lady, which was a rebranded Big Muff Pi. I loved the sound of that pedal.
It was stolen, along with my mid 60s Gibson ES-330TD... [emoji853]
I got a newer Muff at some point, including a green Russian version, which I hated, and none of them had that same smooth tone.
I’m going to pick one of these up soon.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
Sorry about your ES-330. It’s my dream guitar and if I get a promo at work (which I hope to soon) I’m getting one. The TD is the higher neck joint like the 335, right?
Which Muff flavor is the Foxy Lady? (this quoted out of context would look bad)

The Foxy Lady was originally a totally different two knob fuzz, I think also made by EH.
The version I had was a rebranded triangle Muff. It was the same bent steel box and all. Had “EH” etched on the PCB.
The 330 is totally hollow with the neck joining at the 16th fret. TD had two chrome covered P-90s.

Yes, I’m familiar with the normal 330 (I have a Peerless Songbird I put Gibson P90s in) but wondered what the TD designation meant. Didn’t know it was just the chrome.
Very cool.

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
I think the D means “double” pickups? The T model had just one pickup in the middle. But what does T mean? Lol.
I also had an EB-2DC. The 2D had two pickups and I think the C was for “cherry” as it was red.
Oddly that’s now my least favorite guitar shape!

Re: NPD: EHX Triangle Big Muff Reissue
You’re right usually it’s
D for Double
T for Thinline
C for Cutaway
Sometimes they have N for Natural and I guess C for Cherry
This works well for the ES-125 for example because they made all the combinations.
But since all ES-330 are Thinlines, it looks silly.
I didn’t like the shape at all, always thought it was huge. Then I took an ES-335 copy as part of a trade intending to flip it but it grew on me somehow.

I didn't realize the Foxy Ladies were rebranded Big Muffs. I learned something today!

No, the Little Big Muff, with the alloy box.

No, never thought to.
It's designed to go right after the guitar in front of amp. Running it before any buffer allows you to use guitar controls more effectively.

OK. I bought an EHX Triangle Muff reissue. The blame falls squarely on the conjoined shoulders of Bill Ruppert and Blillie. So far I am not convinced of its greatness, but I am still playing pedal rotation. Waddaya think ... OD into Fuzz or Fuzz into OD?

Congrats! I feel honored to be in the same as Bill Ruppert.
Sorry you're not convinced YET. I've sold my boutique ones since I'm happy just with it
Is there something in particular it doesn't do or that it does that you'd like to correct?
Try OD into fuzz first, and OD that shapes the EQ. You don't need more gain and the volume will be compressed.
