I just got one today after playing it at a music shop near my college. I like it, not too heavy of an OD. I have noticed though that when I played it through a fender usa jazz and the fender basman250watt 1x15 combo at the music shop it sounds better than when I use it through my GK700rb, glx 410, and ibby sr800. The OD isnt as strong, any ideas why?
Oh and I almost forgot, Im not an effects expert by any means so sorry if this is a really simple question. I just couldnt find alot of info on the nano muff on here.

| | a bongo cured my gas. | | Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: masury, OH | | | it is more of a guitar pedal than a bass pedal. try something from the big muff family, i bet you will like it much better. |

Recently my guitarist was like "man, I like my Russian, but I don't know if it fits me, I think I'll get a Boss Blues Driver instead...", which of course means I get a Russian Big Muff to play with! |

OP its probably an impedance thing, active and passive basses can react very differently through pedals.

has too much gas | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: auckland, new zealand/malaysia | | | yup. it is the combination of bass and amp. cant really compare it if you used a 115 against a 410. that is a real good pedal for bass tho. you could use it from a clean boost, to a dark boost, to a real dark muddy drive... going from how much you turn the knobs =p |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Thomas, OK | | When I brought it home and plugged in I immediately thought some of the difference was due to my ibby being active, and that it sounds nothing at all like a 2008 MIA Jazz lol. I didnt think my head and cab would make much difference though. I mean I know a 115 and a 410 sound way different but I didnt think it would effect the character of the OD. It does give me a good boost though, I was impressed I retained so much low end. And you're right it does give a good dark, slightly OD, sound I like it for my finger style.
Thanks for all the input!

Probably another OD or a Dist/Fuzz.

you can boost the low end really well with it.

But getting to the tone/"strength" thing... it's not the pedal, but what's driving it, and what it's playing through. Perhaps the Jazz you used expresses some characteristic through the Nano Muff that your Ibby doesn't, and vice-versa.
Between what you used at the shop and what you used at home, they're two entirely different rigs. So why would the pedal produce the same result?
