Tried both these pedals, like both, kinder similar and have no idea what to get, only got enough money for one.
Please advice!

The best thing about the bass big muff is the 3 position switch, allowing you 'normal', 'bass boost', and 'dry' options, the best of these IMO being the dry, which makes the pedal fantastic IMO. If I were you I'd get the Bass Big Muff, absolutely no contest. |

If I were you I'd get the Bass Big Muff, absolutely no contest. | Here's a 180, I love the drive of the blogger and never touch the fuzz (I like the Wounded Paw Attack Goat for that). The drive of the blogger has an envelope suggesting a tuba or string bass and a low end punch, as well as a hint of upper octave...I hardly use it alone, but as the 1st effect in my chain it's what it does to Other effects that's really amazing. Blogger drive into Blowtorch (torch on, 1/2 blend, drive:noon, mid switch 750 or 2k, added eq's to taste) is my synth sound, like a moog sawtooth...it even helps tracking into a MXR Octave Delux, that initial Blogger low kick... I'm still searching for the right "normal" overdrive on bass (lately a blended Dirty Bomb which defeated an OCD yesterday) but the Blogger is one of those pedals I'll always use. On Drive, that is.
I have a BBM for home use, it's ok...Attack Goat easily defeated it for space on my main board. Modded Badder Monkey into BBM is stupendous...by itself it's smooth, but the fuzz kind of sounds pasted on top of your non-effect sound. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: San Diego, California | | | i have never used a blogger, but I never got all the hate I see in these forums. It seems to me that for a vintage vibe, you could do way worse - OD and fuzz in one pedal. I wouldn't buy a Blogger for Doom or anything (and I know it is not daisy chainable), but if I had a solid state amp with no pedalboard and i wanted some old school OD and fuzz, hey the Blogger is a lot cheaper than a BBM and a Barber LTD or whatever... knowwhutimean?
edit: and from what I've heard, the Blogger sounds pretty good in wither mode. Not breathtaking, but not half bad at all |

| | | | Are you a bassist or a guitarist? If you answered latter, you want the Blogger. The Big Muff completely abandons all low end, the Blogger is THE PERFECT way to distort while retaining it. I just love that thing! |

I bought it, tried it and returned it as fast I could.
If you are looking for an overdrive/distortion there are better options than the Blogger.
The Bass Muff is a different story, it's a very good Muff and the best value Muff.
Muff is what EH does very well - I would not say they invented it but they sold more Muffs than anybody else.
