Edit: I don't mean to be a smartarse- just providing some *input*. I've not played one & don't know the sound you describe. Maybe some of the other posters can help.

The Big Muff is a lovely sounding fuzz, but not entirely practical (on its own) on bass. It really needs to be blended with your clean bass signal, or another effect that provides lots of bottom end (like an analogue octaver). |

Hmmm, I think my brain just exploded.  |
