Big Muff ... build or mod?

[OptimusPrime]

Should I build a GGG tuned Big Muff kit or should I mod a Russian one? They would probably cost about the same. Modding a Russian version would be less work. But I'll go with which ever sounds better. I'm looking for a backup to my MXR Blowtorch. Something that won't stay on my board but will be around in case I need a backup fuzz. I want all the low end I can get, I saw somewhere a mod for a mid control knob, and of course better parts and true bypass. I figure this do until I get a Bluebeard.

build the bluebeard.

GGG tuned muff all the way (it IS the bluebeard fuzz).

Unless you have a russian muff already then just mod it into a Bluebeard using the Schematic for the GGG Tuned muff.

Problem solved.

I would say build the GGG tuned Big Muff. It's more work, but I think you end up with a better pedal. I've built one myself, and I love it. JD is great to deal with, and sells high quality parts. The nice thing about the kit is the small size as compared to the Russian BM.

Some people say it's the same and some people say they sound nothing a like.

The GGG tuned is a very nice muff variant, and it is a fun build.
