EHX Bass Big Muff Vs. Electronix Messdrive

[JJBass30]

So Im looking for something to replace my Big muff, basically what I want is a solid fuzz with good low end and some versatility. So which one would you pick?

[short_steve277]

thats what i want to know too. good poll. this will help me decide too!!!

[varunkapahi]

now i havent actually played any of these. but from what i have heard (as in sound clips) i like the messdrive better

[Valerus]

I won't vote because I haven't tried out the BBM.
But I fully recommend the MessDrive.
I don't have the original MessDrive, I have the Hybrid.
So then again, I actually haven't tried that exact one out so...yeah.

I own both, I'd be hard-pressed to pick one. I think the messdrive has more sounds available to it, thought I think the best single setting is on the ehx.

I voted for the Messdrive. But this is only from the clips that I have heard, and from my messdrive+ that I have my self.

[PunkRocker33133]

I have the Messdrive and have played a BBM the Messdrive won in every category imo.

What is that setting on the EHX?

and also which one handles chords better because I do alot of chord stuff

Of the two, I'd go for a BBM.

All of the clips of the Messdrive that I've heard sound... vanilla. I've only heard one sound out of it. Again, I've never actually played through one.
