Cheap alternative to a Big Muff....boss??

[mav]

What's a cheap alternative to a Big Muff?
I want some cheap fuzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Ampeg SVT]

Behringer Vintage Distortion, its just a cheap ripoff of the Muff

[jucas]

I'd find an original swollen pickle... seriously, just another cheap muff clone.

Cheap Alternative?
You can get a used russian muff for like $40.

How much cheaper are you looking?

[JanusZarate]

If you actually want it to be worth your while... get a used Russian Big Muff. Not only is it one of the cheapest pedals out there, it also sounds great on bass.

[crapusername]

the only boss pedal (since you ask!) that sounds somewhere close to a big muff is the PW2 power driver.
only trouble is that is was only made for something like 6 months so is relatively rare!
But seriously - give either the russian muff a go or the little big muff. Both are cheaply found used on ebay!

Danelectro French Toast is very cheap and pretty good, sounds muff-like with the octave off, with lots of bass, and has the octave up switch for sonic mayhem...

[Geddyfleaharris]

A brand new Little Big Muff is around $65. How much cheaper do you need?

[OhThePeacock]

There are used muffs on the bay all the time. Keep an eye out and eventually you'll find one for a great price.

[casio]

yeah, I gotta tell you that a muff would be cheaper than a decent pedal tuner, and I would count that as pretty cheap!

A used little big muff can be had for $35-55. Anything cheaper than that is probably not worth having.

Except the Russian Big Muff, which is frighteningly cheaper.

Honestly, if the OP thinks that a used NYC Big Muff costs too much... he might have a "Behringer" budget

I'm just hoping he was talking about the new price.

[roflol]

maybe he wants really bad fuzz? in which case i recomend getting a 15watt amp for around that price and a a/b switch and just crank the 15watt amp so it distorts really bad

Living in Australia the prices differ slightly, BM's go for about $100 used.
Even buying through ebay with shipping i'll be paying around the same.
Thanks

I got my new russian big muff for like $60

[diechris]

you could make a bazz fuss for about 20$.... but like everyone said.. the big muff is pretty cheap as is

[knarleybass]

get a kit from BYOC.COM

[The Lurker]

big muffs aren't that expensive to begin with-- cheaper than some Boss pedals.

I was scouting my local Pawn shop on Saturday and noticed in the cabnet a little black box with orange nob ends, i walked up, looking around making sure nobody else noticed it, a closer look and it's a .................. Boss HM-2 for $45 bucks.
I dated it, 1984.
Now i have FUZZ!
