Loving my Electro-Harmoix Bass Big Muff.

Gnosticbass · #1 01-31-2009, 11:16 PM

I finally got my bass big muff and I love it. The pedal is super simple to operate and versitile. The 3 way toggle switch is really the secret weapon. If you don't have one I would get one before EH realizes what a gem they have and raise the very reasonable price. By the way it was a bday gift from the wife. YES I HAVE THE COOLEST WIFE.

I just read another thread on the BBM. I found out that one of my all time favorite bass guitar heros Cliff Burton used an early version of this pedal. I guess its karma that I have the newer version.

Just to quell this. No, he did not use a bass big muff. He was said to use the Sovtek green army muff AND the bass big muff is said to have it's sound somewhat modeled after that.

If I remember correctly, Cliff died before the dawning of the Sovtek Muffs.

The Bass Big Muff is a new pedal based on an older pedal. Now if I can find a decent wah pedal I should be set.

Yeah, Sovtek pedals weren't introduced until the 90's. If Cliff used a muff, he was using one of the early Pi's.

And, for the record, the Bass Big Muff is based on (shock, horror) the Big Muff Pi, which is still being manufactured today.

I've got a BBM and it sounds great right before my Dunlop 105 wah. And you can usually find those pretty cheap...

Thanks I will have to check that out.

Never heard a better fuzz sound than my EH Bass Mig Muff.

What is everyone's toggle switch set to? I did like "bass boost" but am on "Dry" now to get a bit more clarity when having the pedal on through a whole song.

My favorite setting at the moment is Dry with the tone set at about 7 o'clock and sustain at about 4 o'clock. Please note a slight change in either nob at makes a drastic change in tone so I could be wrong as I'm trying to imagine it in my head. Either way I love all the settings of the toggle. It's a sweet pedal indeed.

Gnosticbass · #16 02-04-2009, 09:19 PM

I also like the "boost" section however I am also staying on the "dry" setting for running all the time.
