So how’s the new Russian Big Muff?

I remember the last issue, where it was black and a lot bigger. I bought the NYC version instead, so I never got to try it. How does this new pedal compare with... anything?

So how’s the new Russian Big Muff?

Haven’t played one yet but it got pretty awesome feedback on another forum https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/its-back-ehx-green-russian-big-muff.1856952/

The Black Russian you mention is a different circuit. This is supposed to be a reissue of the tall font green Russian:

Sounds great here:

Got to compare it to my original tall font muff, as well as a friend's Wren and Cuff Tall Font. The new reissue holds up quite well, we were able to dial it in so that it sounded pretty much identical to the original. (Also compared to the Wren and Cuff Box of War and a NYC reissue, just for fun).

I want one just because it looks totally badass. I'm not even a "Muff guy" but I want it.

I want to either sell my original Green Russian or trade it for a JHS Muffuletta.

So it turns out these are okay. I didn’t like it as much at low-gain settings as the regular Big Muff Pi, but it does some cool things a little higher up on the dial. It’s nice and compact and kind of cute. The insides are tidy, with discrete components and the following quote screened on the board:

“Follow the smoke
Toward the
Riff-filled land”

I’ve never actually tried a Way Huge pedal. We keep avoiding each other in that awkward way that people try to laugh off later, but I think there’s more to it.

I still want that regular BMP. It had a sweet warmth that the Green Russian didn’t match. It’s probably not the equal of some vaunted revision from years ago, but it’s good enough for me.
