Күн бұрынThink you know the Big Muff? Try some of these ideas…
Welcome to the show. The classics are classic for good reason, so before we get lost in the world of mods and clones… how about we just listen to the OG?
Today’s pedal is the majestically entendreful EHX Big Muff, a stalwart in a surprisingly diverse range of musical genres for decades now.
We present some things you might know about how to use it, and hopefully a couple that you hadn’t thought of yet.
Yes, I know there's a typo in one of the screens. Welcome to Thta Pdeal Swoh.
Enjoy the episode!

I never really thought I would be that into the big muff sound just listening to demos, but playing it loud in the room, there is absolutely nothing like it. It's a pedal that just compels you to play. Play anything. It doesn't matter. It makes everything you do on the guitar sound cool even if it's just pounding on the strings at random. And it just sounds huge. Absolute magic is right! I prefer the Green Russian version for its less scooped, thicker sound. Less gain, but still plenty enough!
@sixbladeknife44 28 күн бұрын
Muffs can really fart out into already overdriven amps, I always prefer them into squeaky clean amps. But they do react very well to boosts such as tubescreamers or even treble boosts etc. I think one thing that was missed here is how incredibly well they pair with modulation, particularly chorus and flange.

@compucorder64 29 күн бұрын
My AC15 is the tube amp I've owned for the longest time. still I use it the most often. It gets chosen over a Marshall JTM, Victory V40 Duchess and even AC30. It's not too loud, fits in a mix well, has nice trem and a spring reverb. Really like it with my Guild Polara Deluxe too, it does pair best with Telecasters, P90s Les Paul Specials & Casinos, & SGs. It doesn't love Jaguars or Strats - too thin, and it doesn't love humbucker Les Pauls - too heavy. Those are the Victory and Marshalls strengths.
@smeggybanana 29 күн бұрын
trust me man, it’s a good choice. some years ago when i was in the market for my first tube amp i KNEW i wanted an AC15, and after looking i found one and it’s been my fav amp ever since - what’s more is the first pedal i got with it was a big muff sooo this videos perfect 😭😭
@SlingShot830201 28 күн бұрын
@@compucorder64 fascinating! I play mostly Strat and Les Paul (I’m more Mick than Dan) hence the AC15 absence from my life confirmed by your findings above. I play mostly fender style amps where muff pedals are scooped sounds on top of scoop sounds and thus sound like I’m drilling aluminum piping not playing gigantic riffs. I can compensate for the later by adding a TS to the mix.
@compucorder64 28 күн бұрын
@@SlingShot830201 For my Les Pauls (a P90 Gibson Les Paul Special & Sire L7), the Marshall JTM with the smooth sounding top-end of Creambacks is my favourite. And I kind of just like a boost or treble boost or fuzz in front. For the Strat, both the JTM & Victory V40 both sound good in different ways. The JTM excelling at that glassy tearing neck pickup tone. And the Victory doing the squeeky clean shimmery sparkling thing, but smoother. Agree on the TS as a shaping boost, with a Strat, through the Victory, Earthquaker Plumes or Wampler Tumnus are my go to. Whereas I like the flatter more amp-like less mid-pushed Boss BD-2W in custom mode with the honkier / barkier / vocal P90 guitars, Casino, SG, Wingman, Jazzmasters, 335s. Compression is a factor too, the Vox AC15 with Tele or Mustang does well with the shaping of an Opto or Hyperluminal in SYM mode. JTM doesn't need compression so much, it's more baked in - anything that goes into the JTM gets the JTMs tone printed all over it in a nice way. Where the V40 is more neutral to bending and shape to most things - it sounds more like what goes in, comes out - louder but clean and smooth. The AC15 is in between, more flexible than the JTM, but more characterful/limited than the V40 - because it doesn't do a lot of bass - and sometimes the treble can be troublesome with some guitars and pedals. And it doesn't have huge clean headroom. Whereas the AC30 has tons of bass to compensate, so treble less of an issue - and good clean headroom, but the problem then is volume. The V40 and JTM are more easilly controlled with the power switching options. But if you ever did want a Vox, I'd probably recommend the AC30, with an attenuator. The S1 version isn't much heavier than the AC15. Can get a Surfybear for Spring, most of the time, Top Boost channel only is the sound used anyway.
@dancehallc 29 күн бұрын
I’m glad Dan made the point that the mid scoop is excellent with vocals. A lot of internet comments make blanket statements like “Big Muffs don’t work in a mix” - kinda true if you’re trying to play tight riffs or solo in a raucous mix, but as a pad-like rhythm sound to sing over, they’re great. (Also good for lead parts in a more spare mix where a high-mid-heavy fuzz might sound too strident)
@ewetoo 28 күн бұрын
This is why grunge is a very misunderstood genre they're not just discounting the equipment but how it's used, you can always use a boost pedal for a solo and go back to the BM for rhythm.
@johanneschristopherstahle3395 28 күн бұрын
Combine the BM with other overdrives for infinite sustain for your solo playing. It's more than just this one sound you get out of this pedal.
@ben.daniel 28 күн бұрын
Agreed. It is one of those things where you kind of disappear if you step on it mid song in a live situation after you've had some hi gain distortion sounds going. J Mascis does this underdrive thing to combat that where the drive going in to the muff pulls some volume out of the signal so stepping on the muff puts it back. Gives it some impact when it drops in.

The original design that they sold forever, - but I'm pretty sure they changed on the recent mini,- was unique because it had both an internal pot for centering mids, and a control that blended Silicon and LED clipping types.I learned that I preferred LED to Si ( my least favourite clipping type, it turned out) from having that pedal. Way Huge make some underated pedals; if you're not familiar with the Green Rhino, Blue Hippo, Red Lama, and Aqua Puss, you should be.They are made for playing live and jamming,- easy to find sounds that work.

This could not be a better timed video for me! Saw Dinosaur Jr yesterday evening for the first time in 34 years (a few failed attempts along the way) at Bearded Theory festival. Sound was awful for about the first 20 minutes, combination of his unique backline - a HiWatt and two Plexis with six 4x12, all actually on, and very loud, as is well known - and very windy conditions. At the exact moment that they started to play 'The Wagon' everything came good and it was suddenly a very emotional experience. Freak Scene followed not long after. Absolutely incredible. Thanks to this video I've also learned that what I thought was covering 'Muff' territory - DBA Fuzz War - isn't really. J Mascis signature Ram's Head now on order.

Humbly requesting an episode devoted to the Muff Fuzz, Dan and Mick. It’s my favorite “pedal” of all time that almost no one knows about. A highly underrated circuit. Less gain, less scooped than a regular Big Muff, and super dynamic with guitar volume control. I actually like the IC Opamp version better than the transistor one. But they’re fragile as all heck and they could use more clones.

It was a fun game. 1 thing I found out is that my BD-2 (Analogman modded) is pretty amazing as a boost into it - even though it is "flatter' in the mids. Great show, fun stuff - and I love the AC w/ the Marshall!

@BitsOfEternity 29 күн бұрын
I have one of the newer versions - I bought it about 3 years ago. My only electric guitar is a Les Paul, so I put a MojoMojo in front of it, and set up the MojoMojo so that I couldn't tell the difference whether it was on or off, and then I turned the level down about 25% from that point, and that feeds into my Big Muff Pi, so I can use the volume control on my guitar in a meaningful way. On the bridge pickup, I can get David Gilmour like tones by keeping the guitar volume low, and then crank the volume if I want more. It also sounds beautiful on the neck, and in combination with both pickups. Also, I have an SD1 between the aforementioned pedals, to allow a different flavour, and I have a Tilt Overdrive (Revv) pedal after the Pi, so I can add Boost and/or OD as desired. All of these things combine to give me an awesome variety of tones - the Tilt feeds into my Kingsley Constable, which then feeds into my amps' front ends.

The sound of ages, what a completely wonderful sound. I've never really gelled with fuzz, but I have owned plenty of fuzzes, including muffs (most recent one being the Op-Amp one they did with Billy Corgan). I've always ended up taking them off my board though and selling them, as they only got used infrequently, but more because they got lost in a band mix, fighting for frequency space with the bass). In isolation like this, it is the most glorious thing ever (those overtones with SG ringing out... ❤), but they often disappear in your average pub band context. I always end up getting another one when I see videos like this one, so... I guess it's off to Andertons again for another try - it's just too good a sound not to have! 😂 Great video guys, perfect start to the weekend!

Hit the Trem on the AC15 to make it absolutely massive. So many good solo sounds. I never understood how Mr. G was using a Muff until I had one and then it all clicked.

TS9 into the Muff was glorious! Might have to dig my muff out of storage and give it another go!

Definitely sounded different with each guitar! I love Muffs with single coils, especially Jazzmaster, but that SG sounded amazing!

My first pedal! I convinced my parents to buy it for me so I could play You Aint Seen Nothin Yet.

Dave Gilmour actually uses two stacked Big Muffs on the Comfortably Numb solo😜

Nice. - For even slightly lower gain muff goodness, try a green Russian, including the great reissues, or a Mojo Hand Iron Bell. Or a modded muff with LED clipping. Another good sound with the Tube Screamer is to set it with a little mild drive, unity volume and tone turned up for more treble less bass. Compensate as needed by turning Muff tone down.

Thanks for the tips! I have a (another entendre) Way Huge Russian Pickle and Fuzz Imp Creature, and struggle at times to dial them in. I'm looking forward to playing around with both of them after watching this.

Thank you! Everyone thinks of a big muff as this big dum-dum hammer to whack your amp with. The articulation, dynamics, light and shade are there, those Gilmour tones. It’s a thing of beauty and some strats on the neck pickup, they can cleanup a bit and it’s sublime. It’s different, but there’s the same sweet spot tuning and tasting experience as a fuzz face. It’s different, but a similar experience. I said it’s different. I’m not saying it sounds like a fuzz face. ✌️😌🎸

I like to use it for it's violin-like sustain: whack up the sustain, lower the treble on the guitar and play classical violin lines.

Really Great video!!! Maybe the one great idea is to use “low sensitivity input” with big muff and Marshall’s..

Ah man, this inspired me to get the Big Muff back on the board (Angry Driver had to make way due to lack of power cables). But wow, I’d forgotten how much fun this pedal was. Haven’t played with this much filth through the AC15 for a while. Cheers lads.

I like the JHS Muffaletta - gives you the options you need for just about any situation

Hey there, cool video! Really one of my most favourite sounds is a Big Muff > Fender Blues Deluxe and a Gibson Les Paul. If you add some reverb, you can really get some massive and beautiful, Neil Young sag sounds out of it. I can't get this sound with my Marshall or Vox. It's Fender all the way!😀

Y’all probably know this.. but the iconic idie rock sound for a JM is the middle position, sounds hewg with a muff!

Really enjoyed seeing the Big Muff get the love it deserves. In the last segment, Dan said that he was going to show how the TS into the BM would yield rhythm tones, but then proceded to play only leads. I'm assuming one can use that setup to play some nice chords too. Cover your ear holes! Cheers.

Should try turning the high cut on the ac 15 all the way down or almost all the way down especially for the strat. Use the treble knob to pull some treble back in. Great episode! Thanks.

I love to stack mine with a Boss SD1 with a hum bucker guitar. I don’t play dirty that much, so it’s a real treat to play with such a singing tone. Guess I’m going to dig it out go for it, it’s been awhile.

I use the Big M in my band. I have gone through hundreds of gain options and I have found that the one that works the best for us is the Green Russian Muff. I use the screamer going into it and it really allows the guitar to cut in our trio and I am able to sing over it a little easier.

I love it. Nothing like some good clean fun. Well, dirty fun.
