Some say the Big Muff and Fuzz Face sound pretty similar. Maybe yay, perhaps nay. What say you? Answer later. Muff Face? Big Fuzz? Sun Pickle?

Nad, do you ever run an overdrive into your pickle? |

Back on topic, I liked the second one better. Is that the Sun Face? |

In any event, they both sound awesome! The Sun Face doesn't need a clean blend? |

The second fuzz sounds rounder, smoother and warmer, and much more natural. The first has this nice roar that I like and cuts through mix better, while the second is more all around fuzz. I have also felling that the first one is slower, while the second is very dynamic.

I thought they sounded very similar though and might easily be indistinguishable in context. I like the second better.
Nad, does that Sun Face work ok with an active inst?

Less than ideal is a good description, as opposed to say, sounding like complete ass. The Pickle Pie B works great with actives though.
I'll answer the question that the entire world has been waiting for later tonight.
