Mainstream Big Muff Clones?

[spookstrickland]

I know there are lots of boutique Big Muff clones out there but have the mainstream manufacturers like:  Boss, DoD, Mxr, Ibanez or Dunlop ever made a Muff like pedal in the last 25 years?

Only one I can think of is the newer Way Huge Swollen Pickle.  Dunlop/MXR owns Way Huge now.  Buy a Ronsound Hairpie, they're cheap and make 3 different Muffs.  $134 shipped from Indiana.  The Pickle is a Swiss Army Knife Muff that's cheaper than a Blackout Twosome.  It also get close to Silicon Fuzz Face tones.  Pretty cool from one of the bigger companies.



Here's my Hairpie Classic after a re-house from Pedal Parts Plus.

I ordered recently a Ronsound Hairpie Ramhead clone. The guy used to work for EHX and their gandmade for less than a good chunk of most boutique pedals. I almost got pedal 666

I was hoping there was some under-priced neglected "Muff" like pedal out there that could be scooped up on the cheap on ebay or craigs list but...the search continues.

the danelectro fabtone could get pretty muffy. the big reddish/brown pedal. that is pretty much the first mogwai albums sound from what i'm told.

You are correct!  I played one of the first ones back in '96 at Elderly Instruments.  One of the salesmen was pushing it hard on me.  But I walked out the door with a brand new Green Russian Muff for $60.

Edit:  The Muff was cheaper at the time and well it was a Muff, not a copy.

First metal casing Danelectro Cool Cat Fuzz. Circuit copy of a Frantone Peachfuzz, which is actualy a very tuned Bigmuff (lotta bass, lotta mids)

There's 10 of 'em on ebay right now.  Check the PDX Craig's too.  Bet you could find one for under $30.

I just took a listen to one of those on youtube.  Awesome!  I'll be looking to poach one of these for cheap on craigslist.

Thanks
