Considering returning Little Big Muff? Dumb move?

[Ryan Mohr]

I received an EHX little big muff a week ago from Musicians Friend and I came to love it. However, I discovered a fuzz patch on my Boss ME-6B that is almost the exact same as the Little Big Muff. There would be no point to having two of the same fuzzes, so I am having trouble deciding what to do. Could I be not using the LBM right, or could the fuzz on my ME-6B just be that good?

close your eyes and decide.

If the ME-50B sounds better or is the same to you, then you're merely paying for the cosmetics of the LBM.

Or if you have other drive settings you like on the ME-50, you can always fall back on the LBM for fuzz.

For clarification, it's the ME-6B, a boss multi-effects unit for bass made in the 90s, which is far superior IMHO to the ME-50B or the GT-6B for that matter, and I have a DOD 250 for overdrive so I think I'm set as far as overdrive and distortion.

anyone else have opinions?

If you don't need it, return it.








Or sell it to me.

I probably didn't NEED it in the first place.

just to let you know, the ehx tube zipper makes an amazing distortion that is so edgy and just...amazing. you have to get one if you want a quality distortion. A big muff will never be as good as driving a signal through 2 12ax7 tubes.

But 2 12AX7 tubes can never be overdriven like a Big Muff.

(unless they're in an English Muff'n... then they sort of get some of that tone with the Gain at 11 )
