the Tubescreamer also cuts a lot of bass, which the Muff boosts a lot, so it helps tighten it up and add some of the mids back in.

Thanks for explaining what this video tried to explain haha

An EQ pedal can make fine adjustments, im not dismissing the tube screamer or wah though. They sound good 👌🏽

Swiss Army Knight Nice, thanks for checking out the video!

Yeah, I would prefer this method... The ts9 (or any od for that matter) would serve for tightening the sound and the eq for more definition.

Joel Sahlin huh! That's funny! I knew that tone sounded familiar.🤔. Thanks for clearing it up.

This, or an EQ ... that's all the cocked Wah is doing anyway; acting as a HF EQ booster ...

billy used a op-amp muff, it have a different sound to normal transistor muffs, it have evem more gain, and also more highs/mids thats why is more on your face and so gainy. EHX just released a reissue of the op-amp muff.

He actually commonly ran an MXR Distortion II with his big muff sounds

@@davidjameschamberlain that's for his lead tones. Like a boost. Along with a phase 100

A TubeScremer will only increase the mids, a lot. I think something like MojoMojo after the Muff will be better (not before, since you can't process Muff with the OD if is connected otherwise)

I did that once and opened up a black hole in my room

John frusciante used a similar thing. He putted the ds2 in a fuzzy configuration in front of the wah and it sounded AMAZING

J Mascis is a perfect example of this

putting a wah after all your distortion accentuates the filter sweep more, whereas when you put it before distortion the filter sweep itself kinda gets lost. my favourite example of wah after distortion is Planes Over The Skyline by Swervedriver. The wah is really accentuated, but it still sounds great. Same with bass distortion and envelope filters, the filter always sounds better after distortion.

@@ddawglee 😂

But that scoop is what makes the muff what it is!!? Lose the scoop and get a DS-2 instead. Muff lovers love the mid scoop.

+Thom Bailey You can flatten the mids and it still sounds like a Muff. With the TS9 boosting the mids, didn't it still sound like a Muff? I do it by changing the capacitor (C8 on the board) from 10nF to 4.7nF and it works amazingly well. I keep a stock Muff and compared to my modded one, the modded one just sounds thicker or fuller, but still has that Muff buzz, which is three stages of diode clipping.

Sam Harrington hey bro, what about a boss sd1? Would it work?7

what pedal do you suggest?

@@sleestak284 I had some luck running an mxr distortion plus for a little mid peak, just watch out for the treble

Thanks 🤘

Это точно)

It is the biggest baddest pedal ever made! 🤘

@@johngidlund It is also the raddest pedal ever made!

Very nice 🤘

It’s funny all the rack gear guitar guys back than used to make fun of my stuff. Things sure did change. I sold that 70’s big muff and original TS9 a few years back for a whole lot more than I paid for them. Same with the old orange 4x12. Great video and spot on.

+gemather Another possibility to treble boost the Muff is with a Muff Overdrive.

So true 🤘

I still think the muff is still one of the biggest baddest pedals around! Enjoy!

The intro is is the same setup as this video, TS9 into Big Muff (doubled left and right). I also have a drop D guitar in the middle using a Fuzz Face.

Phase 90 is another great trick for sure 🤘

Cool DS1 before or after Big muff ?

Actually yes john frusciante sometimes combined that big muff and ds2 for warmer and awesome sound

Rose Anabeza Just tried this and finally got what I’ve been desiring out of my big muff lol, thanks a lot man.

Joey T no probs 🙂

+metalehead95 I think the Tube Screamer helps at any volume even when recording. I pretty much never turn the TS9 off.

I would think so, just play around with settings and see what sounds good. I do it with a Donner Boost Killer in front.

I can’t remember what Converse... been so long and they fell apart a bit ago.

The Spark is a cool pedal but might be closer to the TS9 in how it pushes the Muff. A wah pedals give you some many overtones and feedback for solos that is hard to achieve with any standard overdrive pedal.

@@johngidlund thanks. I'm new to stacking pedals I've only ever added one at a time time to my bass or guitar

I know what you are asking for sure, when combining the TS9 with the big muff (or even the big muff by itself) it is a pretty noisy pedal. There are noise gate pedals but they tend to choke the sound or don't help much. Honestly, I just got very good at shutting the pedal off in between pauses/breaks. The big thing is people don't notice live and in a studio situation you can edit that stuff out. I tend to pull back the gain of the Muff and TS9 because the combination is plenty of sustain! You can also roll back you volume on the guitar in between pauses and that tends to be enough. Hope that helps.

Thanks, man, I will have to convince the band that nobody will notice the noise and I have a pretty good loop switcher. Cuts down on "tapdancing". I've been playing around with a noise suppressor at the very end of the chain, doesn't choke the sound too much if I am using mods(for some reason) but if it is just OD and/or Fuzz, yeah, you lose something. I don't want to go to humbuckers even tho they are not as noisy because singles sound so good with gain stacking!

I run the big muff rams head into an xotic bb preamp into a clean but high mid eq'd amp and I get some cracking tones and sustain, add a bit of chorus and a carbon copy delay and Gilmour pulse tones all the way. I recently bought a Donner Sophgate noise suppressor, I run the big muff into the bb preamp on the Sophgates loop with pretty much all of the settings at their lowest and it does well to silence it between solos etc. Also by running it this way you can completely bypass both pedals with the Sophgate switch good for comfortably numb allowing rhythm into solo with one switch. I will put up a video if you were interested in hearing it?

Kaleb Bryant the drive is 1/4 up so just a slight breakup... the volume is about 3/4 up. Tone about 1/4 up.

It is a late 90’s Ibanez TS9. I think I bought it about 1997.

Yeah, a wah is so good with a Muff 🤘

S9 is set as follows: Drive 1/4 up, Volume is 3/4 up and Tone is 1/4 up. All the vintage muffs are different in terms of knob placement (I have owned 3 vintage and 3 reissue). The one in the video has all the knobs 3/4 up. Hopefully that helps to get close enough.
