| | |  Is Bass Big Muff the same type sound as Boss ODB-3?

I'm new to using effects, and was trying to decide which pedal to purchase. These two both sounded great to me, and very similar. Are they the same type of pedal. I turned to you guys for some INPUT? |

This video includes some sound clips of a Black Russian Muff and the ODB-3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG9OJdPtb5I

If I were you, I'd get the Bass Big Muff. A LOT of people will agree with me. |

| | | | You can usually pick up an ODB-3 used very cheap. There's a reason. |

I had a hard time as of lately getting anything to sound good on the ODB-3, and not having tried the BBM, but hearing plenty of clips, I'd go with the BBM.
